After obtaining Ph.D. she became a member of the Department of physics of FMF as an assistant.

As a Marie Curie scholar she makes her advanced scientific study at Astrophysics Research Institute, (ARI) at Liverpool John Moores University, (JMU) in Liverpool, United Kingdom, which was founded in 1992. Here she also became a member of a project for observing optical counterparts of gamma ray bursts. Among others she is a member of planned ESA GAIA mission, which will measure distances of hundreds of millions of stars in our Galaxy and with spectrometer also their radial velocities. The space probe will be lounched with a four-staged launch vehicle Soyuz/ST.

Her research fields are astronomy and astrophysics, the general theory of relativity, black holes, gamma ray bursts, stellar rotation.
