Education and career

Laurent earned a doctorate from Paris Diderot University in 1986, under the supervision of Michel Deza. [4] She worked at CNRS from 1988 to 1997, when she moved to CWI. She took a second position at Tilburg in 2009. [2]

Book

With Deza, Laurent is the author of the book Geometry of Cuts and Metrics (Algorithms and Combinatorics 15, Springer, 1997). [5]

Awards and honors

She was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2014. [6] She was elected as a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 2017, "for contributions to discrete and polynomial optimization and revealing interactions between them". [7] She has been a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences since 2018. [8]
