She was a research collaborator of the project “Subtierro: Exhumaciones de fosas comunes y derechos humanos en perspectiva hist\u00f3rica, transnacional y comparada” led by Dr. Francisco Ferr\u00e1ndiz (Spanish National Research Council) from 2016 to 2019.

Since 2021, she co-manages the European network “TRACTS: Traces as Research Agenda for Climate Change, Technology Studies, and Social Justice” funded by a research and innovation grant of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) organization.
\nHer doctoral research explored scientific, historical and social endeavours in connection to the exhumation of human remains from the Spanish Civil War and the postwar period in the southwestern region of Extremadura (Spain). Focusing on notions of evidence production, she studied the role that human remains, documents, war remnants, oral accounts and expertise played in the construction of new histories and sociopolitical claims about past political repression. For her postdoctoral work, she has continued to focus on the legal, political and scientific treatment of human remains in the production of truth, evidence and knowledge after conflict and the sociocultural legacies of mass crimes in contexts of impunity.<\/p>\n
