In 2022-23, she held a Swiss Government Excellence Postdoctoral Scholarship at the Digital Humanities Unit of the University de Geneva, where she worked on public exhibition and acquisition policies related to foreign modern art in interwar France. She earned her PhD in History and Civilization from the European University Institute (Florence), after completing interdisciplinary studies in cultural management and modern European history. Elena currently serves as assistant managing editor of Nuncius. Journal of the Material and Visual History of Science.
