She obtained her PhD in 2003 from Imperial College, working on quantum optics and quantum information. Her postdoctoral experience includes a fellowship at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, a Glasstone Fellowship at the University of Oxford, and a Junior Research Fellowship at Mansfield College. Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship. Ivette has worked on a number of topics within theoretical physics, such as fundamental quantum mechanics, quantum information, quantum optics, gravity and astrophysics. Currently, she studies how relativistic effects can be exploited for quantum information theory.
