Her main research interests lie on the study of Mediterranean harbour and coastal archaeology and geoarchaeology, with a focus on naval harbours and their specialised infrastructure (shipsheds) and, more generally, on Classical and Hellenistic harbour-cities (topography, fortification, issues of urbanism, geosciences). After completing  a PhD thesis in Paris I (Panthéon-Sorbonne), she held post-doctoral research positions in the Universities of London (UK), Patras (GR) and Aix-Marseille (FR). She has conducted extensive interdisciplinary fieldwork in harbours and naval bases in the Aegean and Ionian Seas in collaboration with European Universities and Research Institutes specialising in oceanography, geology, geomorphology, coastal geosciences and has participated in several European Projects on underwater/maritime archaeology.
