Anne L’Huillier, Professor of Atomic Physics at Lund University, receives the award for her groundbreaking contributions to attosecond physics. Her research has made it possible to study and understand ultrafast electron dynamics in matter, notably through the development of high-harmonic generation.
In 2023, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics together with Pierre Agostini and Ferenc Krausz for methods to investigate electron dynamics using extremely short light pulses.
The Röntgen Plaque is a German scientific award presented annually by the city of Remscheid, where Wilhelm Röntgen was born, since 1951. It recognises individuals who have made outstanding contributions to research and applications related to the discovery of X-rays.
