Since her wedding in September 1990 with a Spanish fellow, she got another post-doctoral fellowship from the Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia to work at the UPV/EHU. Since then, she belonged to the Departamento de Matemática Aplicada y Estadística e Investigación Operativa, until agoust 2020, and now to the Departamento de Matemáticas, as “profesora titular”.
In 2000, she started a period fully dedicated to administrative work in the Facultad de Ciencia y Tecnología (ZTF-FCT) that lasts two mandates with the dean team of Prof. Juan Ramón González Velasco, December 2000 - January 2007. After staying in the deanery, she comes back to the department where she has been the Director from June 2008 until August 2020.
