Myriam’s research primarily focuses on judicial and arbitral decision-making, and alternative dispute resolution. She is particularly interested in how law really works in practice due to the influence of extra-legal factors.
More broadly, Myriam’s research interests are in arbitration (commercial and investment; domestic and international), alternative and online dispute resolution, private international law, international economic law (especially investment law and arbitration), and climate adjudication.
Her doctoral thesis consisted in a behavioural analysis of international arbitration, while she is now a co-investigator in a project considering the social and psychological underpinnings of commercial arbitration in Europe.
Given this background, Myriam’s research also addresses decision-making in climate governance and adjudication (i.e., climate-related litigation and arbitration).
