She has participated in national scientific and technological projects funded by the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Croatia, the National Science Foundation, the Unity through Knowledge Fund (UKF), the Bicro Agency and in the application and implementation of a number of international projects in COST, LIFE, FP6, FP7, CIP Eco-Innovation. She was coordinator of project "The composition of corrosion products on corrosion resistant concrete reinforcement", financed by Unity Through Knowledge Fund, Croatia, within which she spent 6 months as visiting researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2014, she coordinated project "Phenomenological modelling of carbonation-induced corrosion of radioactive waste disposal structures", PHENEMICS, financed by Marie-Curie COFUND NEWFELPRO, within which she worked as postdoctoral researcher for 2 years in the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), Saclay. Her main field of research interest is design, testing and application of more durable and sustainable construction materials and development of design approaches for more durable structures. In 2015 she recieved annual award for young scientist “Vera Johanides “ from Croatian Academy of Engineering.
