About

Laurent Lamy is a leading planetary scientist whose research focuses on the magnetospheres, auroral emissions, and plasma environments of the outer Solar System, with a particular emphasis on the Ice Giants Uranus and Neptune. A key contributor to the European Space Agency’s “Voyage 2050” strategic planning, Lamy co-authored the influential 2021 paper *Ice Giant system exploration within ESA’s Voyage 2050* (11 citations), which laid the scientific groundwork for a dedicated robotic mission to these last unexplored classes of planets. His work has been instrumental in demonstrating how observing auroral radio emissions can reveal the structure and dynamics of Ice Giant magnetospheres, bridging ground-based and space-based observations. Lamy’s research has significantly shaped the international roadmap for future exploration, advocating for the scientific return of characterizing these intermediate-sized worlds and their diverse satellite and ring systems. With a career spanning both theoretical modeling and observational campaigns, he continues to drive forward our understanding of how magnetic fields and plasma interact in the most remote planetary environments of our Solar System.
