With a double master's degree in Comparative Urban Governance from Sciences Po's École Urbaine and the Colegio de México, Laure has developed her expertise at the intersection of urban and digital issues. Her final thesis, devoted to the spatial analysis of urban resilience in the context of Mexico City's reconstruction after the 2017 earthquakes, already demonstrates her interest in risk management issues.
With more than three years of professional experience, notably as a research assistant at the City and Digital Chair at Sciences Po & CEE's Urban School, she has studied the transformations of urban governance in the digital age, in particular the impact of platforms on mobility policies in France and Mexico.
She is currently working on a thesis under the supervision of Olivier Borraz (Sciences Po, CSO) at the
City of Paris Crisis Management Department. This project, at the crossroads of organisational sociology and digital technology, studies how organisations produce and share data in the context of crisis management.
