Before joining the University of Leeds (UK), Dr Heitor worked as a Senior Lecturer in the University of Wollongong (Australia), and previously in industry for a brief time in infrastructure construction. 

Her research focus on the study of the behaviour of compacted materials in the context of transport infrastructure applications (e.g. roads, rail, ports and airports). In particular, she has been an investigator in several research projects where the use of granular waste materials such as steel slag, coalwash, rubber, fly ash have been explored as alternative synthetic fill materials.
