Congratulations to Chris who has been awarded a Starting Grant from the European Research Council. Funded with €2.5M, the FASTER project will bring attosecond time resolution to optical ultrafast spectroscopy in the ultraviolet, visible and infrared.

Welcome to our new PhD student Mats Kroneberg! Mats will be working on advanced tuneable hollow-core fiber optical parametric light sources. Here’s to a great time at LUPO and to exiting results!

Congratulations to LUPO post-doc Martin Gebhardt who has been selected by the European Research Executive Agency for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship. His project entitled “High-Energy Short-Wavelength Infrared Soliton Dynamics and Sub-Cycle Strong-Field Physics” is funded through the UK Research and Innovation Horizon Europe guarantee.

We will present our most recent research results at HILAS in Vienna, Austria on March 12th to 14th 2024. There will be three posters presentations and one contributed talk given by LUPO team members.

Prof. John C. Travers has been awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies, a major research fellowship, providing ten years of underpinning support (£2.5m) to work on new technologies with great potential.

We are thrilled to share that professor of physics at Heriot-Watt University and director of LUPO, John C. Travers has been named as the recipient of the A F Harvey Engineering Research Prize - the Institution of Engineering and Technology’s (IET) most prestigious award.
