Pierre Agostini is a physicist known for pioneering work on attosecond science, the study of extremely short laser pulses used to observe and control electron motion on ultrafast timescales; this work was recognized with a Nobel Prize. His recent publications span attosecond and femtosecond laser physics, laser filamentation (self-focusing light beams in air), nonlinear optics, and some applied sensor-technology projects using nanostructured materials.

Publication output has declined somewhat from around 10-12 papers per year a decade ago to roughly 4-5 per year in the last five years, suggesting a slowing but still steady rate of activity.
