Since her graduation, Dias has specialized in the study of neo-Nazism in Brazil; her work discusses the organization of these groups in virtual environments.[5] In her methodology, whenever she found a neo-Nazi website, she would physically print it out and report it until it was taken down.[6] Dias identified 334 active neo-Nazi cells in the country,[7][8] that number having jumped to 530 by 2021.[9] One of her discoveries was a 2004 letter signed by then deputy Jair Bolsonaro posted on a neo-Nazi website; in it the politician writes, "Every feedback I get from the communiqués becomes a stimulus to my work. You are the reason my mandate exists.”[6]
