At the University, she continues to develop new instruments will help scientists observe the Universe. She is also leading an international science project called SIGNALS, aiming at observing thousands of newly born stars in galaxies close to the Milky Way to understand how their birthplace as well as previous generations of stars affect the rest of their life and the evolution of our Universe.
