Anne L´Huillier from the University of Lund visited the research centre DESY on 12th January. The physicist, who won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics together with two colleagues for the experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter, visited DESY´s Hamburg site and the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science CFEL at the invitation of Francesca Calegari, Lead Scientist at DESY and Professor at Universität Hamburg, who is also conducting research in attosecond physics.

After a tour of the attosecond and laser research laboratories at DESY and CFEL, the Nobel laureate, who is also a senior scientist at the international Helmholtz Lund Graduate School HELIOS, gave a lecture in the DESY lecture hall. Her presentation “Attosecond light pulses for studying ultrafast electron dynamics” was part of the Hamburg Photon Science Colloquium.
