Lucia Reining (born 13 September 1961) is a German theoretical spectroscopist who works in France as a director of research with the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), in the Laboratoire des Solides Irradiés at the École Polytechnique.^[1] Reining is a married mother of 3 (1992, 1995, 1995).

Education and career

Reining studied physics at RWTH Aachen University beginning in 1980, with Ivan Egry as a faculty mentor, earning a diploma there in 1985. Reining completed her doctoral studies with Rodolfo Del Sole at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, completing her Ph.D. in 1991.^[1]

After a Marie-Curie postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire in Orsay, Reining became a researcher for the CNRS in 1992. She was promoted to director of research in 2002, and to director of research in 2016.^[1]

Lucia Reining is one of the founding members of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility. ^[2]

Recognition

Reining won the CNRS Silver Medal in 2003.^[1] She was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2007, after a nomination from the APS Division of Computational Physics, "for her fundamental contributions to ab initio computation of spectroscopic properties of solids, employing many-electron Green's function and time-dependent density functional approaches".^[3]

She was the 2020 winner of the Gentner-Kastler Prize [de; fr] of the Société Française de Physique and German Physical Society.^[4]
