Before joining MPI-SWS, Laurent was a postdoctoral researcher at MIT CSAIL, working with Prof. Tim Kraska. He completed his Ph.D. at EPFL, advised by Prof. Willy Zwaenepoel. Laurent built the Chaos graph processing system, which holds a record for the largest graph processed in a small cluster of commodity servers. He is the recipient of a Swiss National Science Foundation Fellowship from 2020 to 2022 and an EPFL EDIC Fellowship from 2015 to 2016.
