Early life and education

Lambrecht was born in Mülheim. She completed her undergraduate studies in physics at the University of Duisburg-Essen and Imperial College London.[1] At Imperial College, she worked alongside Peter Knight.[2] She moved to Paris for her doctoral research, studying quantum fluctuations of cold atoms at the Kastler–Brossel Laboratory.[2] Based in the laboratory of Elisabeth Giacobino, she used an optical cavity and magneto-optic trap to study quantum noise.[3] She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics. Lambrecht completed her habilitation at the Pierre and Marie Curie University.[2]

Research and career

Lambrecht was appointed to the Institute of Physics at research leader at the French National Centre for Scientific Research,[2] where she studied quantum fluctuations in cold matter.[1] In particular, she worked on the Casimir effect. The Casimir effect is exploited in microelectromechanical systems. At the same time, Lambrecht demonstrated that the Casimir effect has fundamental impacts in biology and chemistry. In 2014, she was made deputy director of the Kastler–Brossel Laboratory, and in 2016, Deputy Scientific Director at the CNRS headquarters.[1] She was nominated Director of the Institute of Physics in 2018.[4] In 2021, Lambrecht joined the Board of Directors at the Forschungszentrum Jülich.[5]
