She has been in charge of the survey sector of the IRPPS since 2005. Specifically, she focuses on:

As part of her focus on the didactics of statistics, she has developed new participatory methodologies, applied both to secondary school and university levels. These methodologies envisage the use of computer and web tools that allow students to be actively involved in learning statistics and its close relationships with other subjects.
