Previous academic positions were also held at the University of Dundee, James Madison University, the University of Coimbra and the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

Helena's research focuses on European security governance, in particular the governance of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, and comprises four strands:
1) The governance of specific policy fields within Justice and Home Affairs, namely organised crime and cybersecurity;
2) the governance of the external dimension of the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice;
3) the governance of Brexit in relation to internal security;
4) the modes of governance present in internal security, including for example privatisation and agencification.
