She is currently teaching conservation of plastics at the conservation school of ICN, and in various workshops around the world. She is also member of modern materials conservation students’ exam committees in the Netherlands and in Germany.
In 1992, she joined the historical plastics research scientist working group (HPRSWG) founded by English conservations scientists.
