Laura is a postdoctoral researcher at Liven Lab, where she explores energy transitions integrating the framework of societal metabolism (MuSIASEM) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). She studies the relationship between technology and social issues, and is interested in the lock-in of existent stocks to social practices and resource use, the implications of trade, and the nexus and trade-offs of dimensions in socio-ecological systems, including energy, other materials and time use. She works within the fields of ecological economics and industrial ecology (MFA, IOT, LCA). Previously, she worked within the IASTE team at ICTA-UAB and visited University of Leiden (NL).
