Prof. Germain Hubert BEN-BOLIE | High energy physics | Research Excellence Award 

University of Yaounde I Cameroon

Professor Germain Hubert Ben-Bolie is a distinguished Cameroonian nuclear physicist, radiation protection expert, and academic leader at the University of Yaoundé I, where he has served for over two decades in teaching, research, and scientific governance. Currently a Professor of Nuclear Physics in the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, he is also the Director of the Nuclear Physics Laboratory and Head of the Nuclear Physics, Dosimetry, and Radioprotection postgraduate program. His career reflects a sustained commitment to advancing nuclear science, environmental radiological protection, and applied theoretical physics in Africa and beyond. Professor Ben-Bolie’s research spans a broad yet coherent range of fields, including nuclear physics, radioecology, radiation protection and dosimetry, soil–plant transfer of radionuclides, natural radioactivity assessment, and radionuclide migration in environmental systems. He has made significant contributions to understanding radiological risks associated with natural and anthropogenic sources, particularly in high background radiation areas of Central Africa. His work has informed radiation safety practices, environmental monitoring strategies, and public health assessments in Cameroon and neighboring regions. In parallel, he has produced influential theoretical research in nonlinear physics, Bose–Einstein condensate dynamics, charge and energy transport in DNA, and fractional quantum models, demonstrating a rare ability to bridge applied nuclear science with fundamental physics. As a recognized expert in radiation protection and radioecology, Professor Ben-Bolie has played a strategic national role as an expert monitoring the implementation of the Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the Republic of Cameroon and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). He is also President of the Cameroonian Radiation Protection Society and an active member of international scientific bodies, including the International Union of Radioecology. His leadership has been instrumental in strengthening national capacity in radiological safety, regulatory compliance, and scientific training.
