Dr. Incera is a high-energy theorist although her research interests frequently cross the formal boundaries of other areas. She has worked on the interface of high energy and nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, and condensed matter; often on the effects of electric and magnetic fields at very large scales like neutron stars; or very small scales like string theories and condensed matter. Over her academic career, she has made important contributions to the understanding of the properties of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions. She is best known for elucidating the effects of strong magnetic fields on the color superconducting phases that develop at high baryon densities
