Nobel Prize-winning physicist Ferenc Krausz has been elected a member of the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The announcement on Wednesday was passed on in a statement by the Frontiers Foundation, which he founded.
The NAS announced on April 29 that it has elected 120 new members and 25 international members in recognition of their research achievements. The appointment further cements Krausz's standing in the global scientific community, the statement noted.
Ferenc Krausz - along with Pierre Agostini and Anne L’Huillier - was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.”
Ferenc Krausz is the Frontiers Foundation's founder and chairman of the board, director of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, a professor at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and a member of the Hong Kong Academy of Sciences.
The NAS's international members are non-US citizens recognised for their excellence, making Krausz's election a testament to both his lifetime achievements and the international recognition of Hungarian science.
