Join this activity if you want to:

Meet Anne L’Huillier, Nobel Prize laureate in Physics 2023: Learn about her career path and the world of atoms at the attosecond time scale. Her research, both theoretical and experimental, is centered on high-order harmonic generation in gases and its applications, particularly in attosecond science. On Monday evening, March 23, you can also attend her other lecture she will give on the academic field as part of the “Exceptional Lectures” series at University Grenoble Alpes.

Hear authentic career stories: Our guest speakers will present a variety of perspectives on career opportunities in research and business, covering topics ranging from the latest research advances to specific industrial applications.

Understand employer expectations: Learn about the expectations of potential employers through dedicated presentation and interactive roundtable discussion.

Network: Connect with peers who share your passion for photonics while building connections that could lead to future opportunities. All speakers will be available during lunch time and coffee breaks for informal discussions and questions.
