Anne L'Huillier

Anne Geneviève L'Huillier ([an lɥi.je]; born 16 August 1958) is a French-Swedish physicist, and professor of atomic physics at Lund University in Sweden.

She leads an attosecond physics group which studies the movements of electrons in real time, which is used to understand the chemical reactions on the atomic level. Her experimental and theoretical research are credited with laying the foundation for the field of attochemistry.In 2003 she and her group beat the world record for the shortest laser pulse, of 170 attoseconds.

L'Huillier became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2004 and a member of the European Academy of Engineering in 2006.

She has received various physics awards including the Wolf Prize in Physics in 2022 and the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2023.
