She has been a researcher in the Humboldt Universität Berlin, Institut für Geschichtswissenchaft and in the Institut für Zeitgeschichte Berlin (DAAD Grant.

Previously she was a researcher in various university centres: in Germany, Universität Bielefeld, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt a.M, Institut für Europäische Geschichte Mainz, Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut Berlin; in Italy, Università degli Studi di Pisa; in Catalonia, in the Jaume Vicens i Vives University Institute of History (reinstatement of doctors) and in the UPF Department of Humanities (Ramón y Cajal).

Her research mainly focusses on three lines:

A first line centres on the political and social history of Catalonia and Spain in the 19th century. On this context she has published La Junta Revolucionària de Barcelona de l'any 1868 (Eumo, 1992) and Polítics en temps de revolució: la vida política a Barcelona durant el Sexenni Revolucionari (1868-1873) (Eumo, 2002, 2002 Ciutat de Barcelona History Award).

A second line centres on the political and social history of Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries. On this context she has published La Nova Alemanya: problemes i reptes de la unificació, 1989-2002(Eumo, 2002).

Lastly, her current research interests focus on Spanish-German relations in the period 1870-1959; particularly, the ties between cultural relations and political interests. On this context she has published, as an autor or editor, among others: España y Alemania: Nuevas investigaciones sobre la historia de las relaciones culturales en el siglo XX (Ayer 69 (Dossier), 2008); “Imperialismus durch auswärtige Kulturpolitik: die Deutsch-Spanische Gesellschaft als 'zwischenstaatlicher Verband unter dem Nationalsozialismus" (German Studies Review XXXI, 1, 2008: 109-132); 'Woe Betide Us If They Win!': National Socialist Treatment of the Spanish 'Volunteer' Workers (Contemporary European History, 23, 3, 2014: 329-357); "Relaciones culturales en el 'nuevo orden': La Alemania nazi y la España de Franco" (Hispania LXXV, 251, 2015: 805-822);  "The role of culture in German-spanisch relations during nationalsocialism" (in Fernando Clara; Claudia Ninhos (Ed.).

Science, Culture and Politics. Uk, Palgrave Macmillan, 2015: 84-104);  "Hispanidad in the völkisch "New Order" in Europe" (in Johannes Dafinger and Dieter Pohl (Ed.). A New Nationalist Europe under Hitler. Concepts of Europe and Transnational Networks in the National Socialist Sphere of Influence, 1933-1945. London and New York, Routledge, 2018: 93-111); and “Contributing to the cultural "New Order": How German intellectuals attributed a prominent place for the Spanish nation” (in Maria Björkman, Patrik Lundell and Sven Widmalm (Ed.). Intellectual Collaboration with the Third Reich. Treason or Reason?, Routledge 2019: 214-229). She has recently published (with Albert Presas): Science, Culture and National Identity in Francoist Spain, 1939-1959, Palgrave, 2021.

She is currently working on two monographs respectively on the  role of culture in Spanish-German relations in the period of National Socialism and on the re-establishment of Spanish-German cultural diplomacy in the post-war period.
