Research:

Since 2016 she focused her research on the synthesis, microstructural and electrical characterization of second generation 2D layered materials for gas sensing applications. Specifically, she set up simple and scalable and effective exfoliation methods to deposit few layers thin films of WS2, MoS2, SnSe2, etc. metal calchogenides (MCs) and transiton metal dichalcogenides (TMDs).
