61st Alpheus Smith Lecture in the Books

Anne L'Huillier's opening slide for her presentation

Last Friday, August 16th, was the 61st Alpheus Smith Lecture, featuring Dr. Anne L'Huillier.

Dr. L’Huillier was a 2023 Nobel Laureate in physics alongside Ferenc Krausz, and OSU Emeritus Professor, Pierre Agostini.


The Alpheus Smith Lecture has been bringing leading-edge work of Nobel Laureates and other prominent physicists to the community since 1960. The free, public lecture series is endowed by Robert Smith to honor his father, Physics Professor Alpheus W. Smith. (You can read more on his biography page on the physics website.)

 

Thank you to everyone who attended and especially to our guest of honor, Dr. Anne L'Huillier!

 

If you didn't make it to the lecture, don't worry: The recording of The Route to Attosecond Pulses is now available!
