Emily Lamour is teacher-researcher at Sorbonne University and led the team “Clusters and Surfaces under Intense Excitation” at The Institute of NanoSciences of Paris (INSP). Since 2022, she is Deputy Director of the Physics department of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Sorbonne University. She began her career at the CIMAP laboratory where she received her Ph.D. in physics from the University of Caen (France) in 1997. There, she worked on several experiments carried out at GANIL to explore the dynamics of the ion-solid interaction at high energy. Then, she joined the Atomic Physics group of GSI (Darmstadt, Germany) to work on the ion trap facility SHIPTRAP and to participate in mass measurements of radioactive ions at ISOLTRAP at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland). In 2000, she became lecturer and joined the Solid State Physics Group at the Pierre and Marie Curie University. Ten years later, she obtain a professor position at Sorbonne University. She studies the ion-matter interaction dynamics with matter ranging from ions to solids including surfaces and clusters.
