Professor Krausz, Ferenc
Professor Krausz stands among the foremost architects of attosecond physics, a revolutionary field that captures electron dynamics at inconceivably brief timescales. His seminal experiments (2001–2004), which first isolated and measured attosecond light pulses, unlocked unprecedented insights into atomic and molecular processes—reshaping modern physics, chemistry, and materials science. His contributions have been recognised with the highest honours in science, including the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics for developing attosecond pulse generation, the 2023 BBVA Frontiers of Knowledge Award, the 2022 Wolf Prize in Physics, and the 2013 King Faisal International Prize for Science, cementing his status as one of the preeminent physicists of our time.
