Lucia Reining (born 13 September 1961) is a German theoretical spectroscopist who works in France as a director of research (exceptional class) with the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), in the Laboratoire des Solides Irradiés at the École Polytechnique.[1]
Reining studied physics at RWTH Aachen University beginning in 1980, with Ivan Egry as a faculty mentor, earning a diploma there in 1985. She did her doctoral studies with Rodolfo Del Sole at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, completing her Ph.D. in 1991.[1]
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 exceptional class in 2016.[1]
Reining won the CNRS Silver Medal in 2003.[1] 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".[2]
She was the 2020 winner of the Gentner-Kastler Prize of the Société Française de Physique and German Physical Society.[3]
