Additionally, she has been the responsible of several contracts with Industry (e.g: Dow AgroSciences, ADAMA Agricultural Solutions, Aerosol d.o.o, Blue Industry, ,etc), and Local and Regional Public Authorities. She has organized several international workshops and international experimental campaigns with the participation of more than 300 international researchers. She is also an associate researcher of the "Air Pollution Unit 2" CEAM as Associated Unit R+D+I to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and the responsible researcher from CEAM of the “Atmospheric Pesticide Research Group” of Valencia. She has been the tutor of several internships, mainly students from USA Universities, through EUROACE, and have acted as host of several PhD students from other institutions. She has supervised 1 doctoral thesis, with maximum qualification and she has been the tutor of one "Juan de la Cierva -formación" postdoctoral grant.
