Frédéric Pierre, CNRS senior researcher at C2N, was awarded the Prize Madame Victor Noury, née Catherine Victoire Langlois - Fondation de l'Institut de France 2018 during a ceremony held at the French Academy of Sciences on October 16, 2018, under the dome of the Institut de France.

Frédéric Pierre is a young condensed matter physicist, a very inventive experimentalist, whose scientific output is on the rise. His work is characterized by the development and fabrication of original quantum electronic circuits to test the elementary building blocks of mesoscopic quantum transport, and also by the development of unparalleled instrumentation for the measurement of their electrical and thermal transport properties at very low temperatures. Frédéric Pierre's work has led to remarkable advances in the physics of electronic interactions in quantum systems of low dimensionality by testing theoretical predictions, which have not been tested for the time being, and stimulating new developments in the field.
