In early 2013, Asmodelle was invited to become a Fellow of the Institute of Science and Technology (IST). In May 2013, she was featured in the Express Advocate for an introductory cosmology course she conducted at Central Coast Community College.{{cite web|url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/central-coast/looking-at-the-big-picture-with-central-coast-cosmology-course/story-fngr8h0p-1226635868933/|title=Looking at the big picture with Central Coast cosmology course|access-date=7 May 2013|archive-date=24 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160324063814/http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/central-coast/looking-at-the-big-picture-with-central-coast-cosmology-course/story-fngr8h0p-1226635868933|url-status=live}}

She earned a Bachelor of Science (Honours) with 1st Class honours in Astronomy from the University of Central Lancashire in 2017.

In January 2018, Asmodelle started a PhD, on a full scholarship, at the Centre for Quantum Computation & Communication Technology, School of Mathematics and Physics, University of Queensland,{{cite web |url=https://smp.uq.edu.au/profile/4621/estelle-asmodelle |title=Asmodelle's page at UQ |access-date=15 April 2018 |archive-date=15 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180415124940/https://smp.uq.edu.au/profile/4621/estelle-asmodelle |url-status=live}} working in the field of quantum mechanics and relativity. Asmodelle suspended her PhD with the University of Queensland in 2020, due to COVID.

Asmodelle's academic papers, published with various scientific journals, are listed on [https://scholar.google.com.au/citations?hl=en&user=3svuZxwAAAAJ Google Scholar].
