Award 2022 for his doctoral thesis on the interaction of high-intensity laser pulses with solid targets. The award was recently presented in a special colloquium by Professor Paolo Giubellino, Scientific [...] Vincent Bagnoud. In his thesis he focused on the interaction of high-intensity laser pulses with solid targets, a regime of interaction in reach of the most powerful laser system worldwide. In particular, Johannes [...] Johannes Hornung used a non-invasive method, namely the spectroscopy of the light reflected off the target, to gain new insights on the laser-matter interaction and showed that quantitative information on
