Laura Maria Alessandretti

Laura Maria Alessandretti is an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Her research focuses on interdisciplinary topics such as human mobility, cryptocurrency investment networks, smartphone usage behavior, and socio-spatial segregation. She is actively involved in supervising PhD students and contributing to projects addressing sustainability science and urban dynamics. She holds an ORCID identifier (0000-0001-6003-1165) and can be reached at lauale@dtu.dk.

Her work bridges computational methods with social sciences, particularly through large-scale behavioral data analysis. Key projects include studying air pollution's interplay with human mobility, computational approaches to cultural ecosystem services, and gender gaps in mobility patterns. She has contributed to datasets such as "Exposure to urban and rural contexts shapes smartphone usage behavior" (2023).

Her research has been published in journals like Nature Computational Science, EPJ Data Science, and PNAS Nexus, with a focus on mobility science, cryptocurrency networks, and urban sociology.
