Physicist
Pierre Agostini
French physicist who generated attosecond pulses of light, short enough to watch electrons move.
Pierre Agostini is a French experimental physicist and Emeritus professor at the Ohio State University in the United States, known for his pioneering work in strong-field laser physics and attosecond science. He is especially known for the observation of above-threshold ionization and the invention of the reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions (RABBITT) technique for characterization of attosecond light pulses. He was jointly awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Pierre Agostini is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
