Lesya Shchutska wins the Swiss Science Prize Latsis 2023. SNSF, Mathilda Olmi - Physicist Lesya Shchutska, EPFL professor and winner of the Swiss Science Prize Latsis 2023, is paving the way for the discovery of new particles. "I am delighted to receive the Latsis Prize. I'm also surprised, though - given that I haven't made a major discovery in particle physics." Lesya Shchutska, professor at EPFL, is clearly being modest about her achievements. But she is realistic, too: "Since the existence of the Higgs boson was discovered in 2012, there is no longer really any theory left to verify in particle physics," she explains. Indeed, scientists are not expecting great discoveries. The Standard Model was formulated some 50 years ago and brings together all the discoveries made in particle physics.
