Professor Anne L'Huillier is a renowned French/Swedish physicist at Lund University, specializing in atomic physics and attosecond science. She holds the rank of Professor in the Department of Atomic Physics within the Faculty of Engineering (LTH). Her research focuses on ultrafast phenomena, particularly high-order harmonic generation and attosecond light pulses for studying electron dynamics. She leads projects like QU-ATTO and New Trends in Attosecond Science, funded by the EU and Swedish Research Councils. Education: Earned her PhD in 1986 from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris) and CEA. Postdoctoral roles at Chalmers Institute of Technology (1986) and University of Southern California (1988). Became Associate Professor at Lund University in 1995 and Full Professor in 1997. Research Interests: Experimental and theoretical studies of attosecond pulses, laser-atom interactions, and ultrafast electron dynamics. Her work enables insights into quantum processes at the atomic scale. Collaborations span global institutions, advancing applications in condensed matter physics and quantum information science. Key Contributions: Pioneered methods to generate attosecond pulses, recognized by the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics. Her team's innovations include optimizing attosecond source development and applying these pulses to study electron motion in matter. Awards: Nobel Prize in Physics (2023), Wolf Prize in Physics (2022), and multiple grants including Horizon Europe and Wallenberg Foundation funding. Active in conferences and mentoring, with 34 supervised works and 352 research outputs. Labs/Teams: Principal Investigator at NanoLund, a nanoscience center, and member of strategic initiatives like Light & Materials and Photon Science and Technology profile areas.
