Charling was trained in particle physics  at Harvard U. and Oxford U.and worked at CERN, she was the director of the Tsinghua Center for Astrophysics in Tsinghua University during 2010-2016. She has been a co-lead of the SN and transients Science Working group of the European Euclid space project launched in July 2023. In parallel, she is still testing directional DM detectors in particular the MIMAC project, which could provide pioneering work on galactic DM astronomy.

Aside from her (Astro-)physics work, she is a co-founder and active member of the ecosystem restoration camps/communities (ERC) movement.
