Having learned about microcalorimetry abroad, in 1964 she was the first to teach the subject to researchers in Spain. Specifically, she carried out work on applied thermodynamics, calorimetric studies and determinations of specific heat of solids and liquids. At the University of Santiago de Compostela, she served as department director of Fundamental Physics at the Faculty of Sciences (1964–1970 and 1972–1974) and then director of the Department of Applied Physics (1986–1992).
