Biography

Her current research focuses on compensation schemes and their interplay with the tort system, artificial intelligence and civil liability, and the compensation of damage resulting from the COVID-19 crisis. She is affiliated with the GRERCA (Groupe de Recherche Européen de la Responsabilité Civile et de l'Assurance) and with the British Association of Comparative Law (BACL). Emmanuelle was previously a Teaching and Research Assistant (ATER) at the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas where she taught at their French and Mauritian campuses (Law of Persons, Introduction to Law, Contract Law, Tort Law, Legal Skills, Research and Methods) and worked as a research assistant in the Institute of Comparative Law of the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas. Emmanuelle studied law at the University of Maine (France), the University of Leeds (UK) and the University of Paris II Panthéon Assas (France). She completed a fully-funded PhD at the University of Paris II Panthéon-Assas in Comparative Tort Law, examining how the French and the English legal systems approached issues of compensation in the context of serial health risks.
