It has been a year since Anne L’Huillier became Lund University’s first Nobel Prize laureate. Since then, she has been trying to use the huge attention to stir interest in research and physics.

She has also had to cope with the very peculiar experience of being a rock star of science, who gets asked for selfies in town.

On the anniversary of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics, friends and colleagues gathered outside the Department of Physics in Lund to honour Professor Anne L’Huillier. The celebration was a recognition not just of her groundbreaking research, but also of her humility and enthusiasm over the past year.

During the celebrations, a plaque was unveiled that now adorns the bike rack outside Fysicum. That is where Anne often parks her bike on the way to work. Several of Anne’s University colleagues gave speeches recognising her efforts within attosecond physics.
