Lucia Reining

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. 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. Lucia Reining is one of the founding members of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility. ==Recognition==

Reining won the CNRS Silver Medal in 2003. 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". She was the 2020 winner of the of the Société Française de Physique and German Physical Society. ==Selected publications==
