ANNE L'HUILLIER, NOBEL PRIZE, CAME TO VISIT

✨ An inspiring scientific meeting at LFPH! 

On Tuesday, 7 October (the day the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was announced!), we had the great pleasure of welcoming Anne L’Huillier, 2023 Nobel Prize winner in Physics, for an exceptional meeting with our students. The morning began with a round table discussion with students in lycée specialising in science, who were prepared for this exchange. 

🎯 Objective: to highlight the ‘STEM for women’ dimension through an inspiring discussion with Anne L’Huillier about her career path, the place of women in research and the challenges of guiding young girls towards scientific careers. 

This was followed by a conference open to students in collège and lycée, allowing them to discover her research work – in particular the generation of high-order harmonics leading to the production of an “extended frequency comb in the ultraviolet and the development of attosecond lasers”, work that gave her the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics. 

💡 It was an exciting opportunity for our students to discuss the prospects opened up by the major progress. 

🙏 Thanks a lot to the French Embassy in Denmark and the French Institute for their valuable collaboration — and of course to Anne L’Huillier for her availability, humility and inspiring commitment to our students.
