Françoise Remacle, FNRS Research Director and Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at the Molsys Unit (Faculty of Science) has been awarded the Emmy Noether Prize (Winter 2017) for her innovative contributions in interdisciplinary fields linking physics, chemistry and biology, as well as for her leading role in European and international research projects and for her excellent mentorship.

rançoise Remacle carries out research in theoretical physical chemistry, on the fundamental properties of systems at atomic and molecular scales, mainly molecules and aggregates, but also on extended systems, molecular complexes and nanoparticle networks, where a dense set of electronic levels is a key characteristic. By subjecting these systems to optical pulses or voltage pulses, she demonstrated that interesting and unusual properties emerge from their quantum dynamical responses, offering new opportunities for the control of chemical reactivity and quantum information processing. As the leader of several collaborative international projects involving both experimentalists and theorists, Françoise Remacle has contributed to significant advances in future emerging quantum technologies. She is also recognized for her work in attochemistry, (science of the response of molecules to ultra short optical pulses, in the order of a few hundred attoseconds, one attosecond = 10-18 seconds). Recently, she has begun working in systems biology, using a thermodynamically based information theory approach to analyze and compact high throughput genomic and proteomic data to provide new biophysical understandings.
The Emmy Noether Distinction For Women in Physics was created in February 2013 to promote the recognition of outstanding women physicists with a strong link to Europe through their nationality or their work. The scope of application includes personal achievements in areas such as research and education, and industry.
