Marco Piccardo, a key collaborator of GoLP (Group of Lasers and Plasmas) and IPFN, as well as a professor at Instituto Superior Técnico and researcher at INESC-MN, has been awarded a prestigious €1.5 million ERC Starting Grant. His cutting-edge “metaPOWER” project will explore high-power laser-plasma interactions using meta-optics, with some experimental work to be carried out at GoLP. This research holds potential for advancements in fusion energy, particle acceleration, and radiation sources combining high intensity lasers and plasmas.
