Description
We are honoured to welcome Prof. Anne L’Huillier, awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics for her pioneering work in developing experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light to explore electron dynamics in matter. A leading figure in ultrafast optics, Prof. L’Huillier has pushed the boundaries of laser science by producing light pulses lasting only a few hundred attoseconds. Her research bridges theory and experiment, with breakthroughs in high-harmonic generation, pulse shaping, and attosecond spectroscopy. Her current projects explore high-intensity XUV sources to study non-linear quantum effects in atoms; developments that resonate strongly with the next generation of ultrafast, time-resolved techniques in synchrotron and FEL facilities.
