- PhD Title: Study of the environmental impact of the past presence of mining activity dedicated to the exploitation of the Franceville basin deposit and the influence of Oklo natural nuclear reactors
- Year of Completion: 2028
PhD Overview
The genesis of natural nuclear reactors is widely considered unique to the period 2.4 to 1.9 Ga (one billion years ago). This study aims, on the one hand, to assess the post-mining situation through in situ measurements in the Franceville Basin, in southeastern Gabon, and to assess the impact of the presence of these mining sites on the local population. It also aims to contribute to understanding the influence of the Oklo natural reactors on life in general. Radiological activity measurements are planned, as well as numerical simulation.

About Me
With a bachelor’s degree in physics and a master’s degree in Optics, Lasers, and Applications, specializing in nuclear physics, from the University of Science and Technology of Masuku (Gabon), I completed an internship at the General Directorate of Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety. I subsequently received the FacultyfortheFuture scholarship, which now allows me to pursue a doctorate at the University of Strasbourg, France. I am a versatile and dynamic person with strong analytical skills. I enjoy teamwork, I love taking on challenges, and I know how to adapt to the situations I encounter. Proactive and serious, I firmly believe that only hard work pays off. Throughout my career, I have held several positions: class representative on several occasions, treasurer of my faculty’s mutual insurance company, and coordinator for the organization and mobilization of young women. In 2024, I had the honor of being invited as a panelist at Women’s Day, organized by COMILOG. Today, I am proud to be a role model for many young girls, and a source of pride for my university and my country. I have also established a forum for the young girls and women I mentor, and I am considering creating an association of influential young women to support younger women. I believe I possess some of the qualities of a good leader, although I continue to develop them day after day.
