At the Laboratory for Lightwave Metrology and at Attoworld, Marinus has been a driving force in the development of field-resolved infrared spectroscopy and its biomedical applications. Due to his manifold contributions in this field, he has now been awarded this year’s “Dieter W. Bäuerle Prize for Fundamentals and Applications of Laser-Matter Interaction”. The prize is awarded to young scientists up to ten years after completion of their doctoral thesis. The award recognizes research work that deals with the fundamentals and applications of laser-matter interactions in physics, chemistry, biosciences, medicine and art.

The prize was awarded on the evening of Tuesday, September 24, 2024, at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz. Congratulations Marinus!
