Esma joined Vertigo Lab in May 2025 for a four-month internship, contributing to the fullstack development and improvement of our ImpacTer tool. Her experience has enabled her to strengthen her commitment to inclusive, sustainable, and meaningful technologies, while broadening her understanding of social and environmental challenges.

Garance joined Vertigo Lab in April 2025 for an internship focused on ecosystem services and territorial impacts. This internship is part of her studies within the Magistère in Economics at the University of Bordeaux (MAGEVAL). She enhanced her academic background with a semester abroad at the University of Melbourne where she took courses in environmental economics and global environmental politics, and with an internship at INSEE working on regional economic trends. Passionate about ecological transition and territorial dynamics, she also conducted a field study on the local socio-economic impacts of the Cigéo nuclear waste disposal project.

Mathis is a graduate scientist in ecological and environmental sciences from the University of Edinburgh. Convinced by the necessity to combine scientific expertise with public policy, Mathis pursued his studies by completing a double master’s in environmental science and policy at Science Po Paris and Sorbonne Université (UPMC). Being passionate about territorial political action, he carried out two internships during his masters’ gap year. He first worked for ADEME, the French agency for ecological transition, where he contributed to building-up and financing local-led research programs. His then worked at LISIS, a research laboratory specialised in Science and Technology Studies and associated to INRAE, where he studied the role of prefects, the highest civil-servant figures at the sub-national scale, regarding water management in France. He joined Vertigo Lab for his masters’ internship in February 2025.

Laura holds an engineering degree in industrial production management from Centrale Lille and a Master of Sciences from Skema Business School in Project management. She developed deep experience in project and logistics management in the industrial sector in the first ten years of her career.
