In a festive ceremony Anne L’Huillier and Ferenc Krausz have been appointed honorary doctors at the Faculty of Science and Technology, at Umeå University. Both have strong links to the University through research collaborations and mentoring.
Professor Anne L’Huillier and Professor Ferenc Krausz are two of the three laureates who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2023 for their discoveries in attosecond physics. Ferenc Krausz has for many years collaborated with László Veisz at the Department of Physics and initiated several of the research programmes conducted at Umeå University. He has also supported the University with important hardware in the construction of the relativistic attosecond physics laboratory, REAL.
Anne L’Huillier has also helped Umeå University to strengthen its research through effective collaborations, including optimizing equipment at REAL. She is very active in mentoring younger colleagues and supporting women in their careers, among others Aleksandra Foltynowicz at the Department of Physics.
