She joined the Department of Ferroelectric Materials, Institute of Materials Physics of the Spanish “Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC)” in 1982. She was visiting graduate student at the Materials Research Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA, USA (1984-1985). She has authored or coauthored numerous publications in the field of polycrystalline ferroelectric materials, processing, and multifunctionality.
      She was the Spanish Leader in several projects of the European Commission (EC). She was involved in managing and scientific tasks in EU Networks (COST514 and 528, POLECER, MIND_NoE, CSA_PI). She contributed to establish the European Institute of Piezoelectric Materials and Devices (Piezoinstitute, PI) in 2008. She was involved in the series of Conferences on Piezoelectrics for End Users since its origin (Interlaken , Switzerland, 2002) and Chair of the PIEZO2017 Conference in Cercedilla (Madrid). She become PI Chair of its Advisory Board (2019-2021) and at present she is Vicepresident of The Piezoinstitute (2021-).
      She carries on editorial tasks in journals (Processing and Applications of Ceramics (PAC) and Materials MDPI) and, also, in Proceedings, Special Issues and the book on “Multifunctional Polycrystalline Ferroelectric Materials: Processing and Properties”.
      She was a Co-founder of the “Electrocerámica” Section, Spanish Society of Ceramics and Glass (SECV), in 1998. She was awarded the “Épsilon de Oro” prize of the SECV in 2021 for her dedication to Electroceramics at national and international level.
      She is Member of the Steering Comitee of the “European Meeting on Ferroelectricity (EMF)”, of the Scientific Advisory Board of the “European Conference on Applications of Polar Dielectrics (ECAPD) and was Member of the International Advisory Committee of “CIMTEC: International Ceramics Congress” until 2022.
      She has been a Lecturer in the Winter Schools of PIEZO2019 and 2021 Conferences, and in the past years also imparted seminars at the “Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales” of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM, CDMX, Mexico), at “Universidad de la República” (Montevideo, Uruguay), at “ICRAM, Universidad de Burgos” (Burgos, Spain), at the Postgraduate School of the Center for Research on Advanced Materials (CIMAV) (Chihuahua, Mexico) and at the Sassari University (UNISS, Sardinia, Italy).
