It guarantees the scientific integrity of the information published on the website and contributes to updating its content. The board meets once a month. Its members are elected each year for a one-year term and serve on a voluntary basis. For any questions regarding the editorial board of laradioactivite.com, please write to
Dr Marc AMMERICH
Marc Ammerich is a nuclear physics engineer and a recognized expert in radiation protection. After a career at the CEA and the ASN, where he held roles in inspection, expertise and training, he now continues his activities as president of the company ACE-RP. His career spans scientific, regulatory, educational and science communication fields.
Dr Jean-Claude ANGÉLIQUE
Jean-Claude Angélique is a lecturer-researcher at the ENSICAEN engineering school and at the LPC Caen research laboratory.
A nuclear physicist, he specializes in nuclear instrumentation, dosimetry and radiation protection, Monte Carlo simulations, and multidisciplinary applications of radiation.
Dr Nicolas ARNAUD
Nicolas Arnaud is a CNRS researcher at the Institut de Physique des 2 Infinis (IP2I) in Lyon. He works on the Virgo experiment (gravitational-wave detection). He is also the scientific delegate for “science communication and education” at IN2P3.
Dr Nicolas DELERUE
Nicolas Delerue is a CNRS research director at IJCLab in the field of particle accelerators. He is particularly interested in applications of low-energy particle accelerators. He organizes summer schools on this topic.
Dr Camille DUCOIN
Camille Ducoin is an associate professor at Université Lyon 1. Her research focuses on nuclear astrophysics. After beginning her career with the theoretical study of nuclear matter in compact stars (supernovae and neutron stars), she joined an experimental team at the Institut de Physique des 2 Infinis (IP2I) in Lyon, where she studies the nuclear reactions responsible for the formation of elements in stars.
She also places great importance on sharing science with the general public and with schools.
Emmanuel JULLIEN
Head of the Communication Department of the National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics since 2019, Emmanuel Jullien specializes in scientific information and communication.
He worked for twenty years as a science journalist before joining the CNRS. Since 2020, he has overseen the editorial and technical modernization of the website.
María Belén LOVINO
Science communication officer at the Laboratoire de Physique des 2 Infinis – Irène Joliot-Curie and at the National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics since 2025. Trained as a physics teacher, she now works in science communication in the fields of particle and nuclear physics.
She works to create and sustain spaces for dialogue around fundamental science, fostering accessible exchanges between research and society.
Dr Gilles MONTAVON
DR1-CNRS, trained as a chemist (University of Strasbourg) with a specialization in radiochemistry (PhD from Université Paris XI). At the SUBATECH laboratory (Nantes), he develops research on the behavior of trace radioelements in environmental contexts (radioactive waste management) and medical contexts (the use of radioactive isotopes in nuclear medicine).
Since 2015, he has also participated in a multidisciplinary research program on the effects of natural radioactivity on ecosystems, whose study area is located in the uranium-bearing region of Auvergne.
Dr François de OLIVEIRA SANTOS
CNRS research director, François de Oliveira Santos is a researcher at the Grand Accélérateur National d’Ions Lourds (GANIL). An experimental physicist, he works in the fields of nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure and fundamental interactions. He was coordinator of the LISE facility at GANIL, which enabled many discoveries.
Dr Yves SACQUIN
Yves Sacquin is a particle physicist at the CEA and scientific advisor at the Institute for Research into the Fundamental Laws of the Universe (Irfu) in Saclay. His research focuses in particular on neutrino physics and on the study of antimatter within the framework of international experiments at CERN. He is also involved in the dissemination of scientific culture and contributed to the creation and development of the educational website laradioactivite.com.
He leads science cafés and serves on the juries of the Cgénial competition (organized by the Sciences à l’école program of the French Ministry of Education) and the “Goût des sciences” prize of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
Dr Christian DE LA VAISSIÈRE
Christian de la Vaissière is a CNRS research director within the National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (IN2P3). A former student of the École Centrale, he conducted research in high-energy physics and also became involved in the dissemination of scientific culture, thanks to Jeanne Laberrigue, who was his PhD supervisor.
He notably contributed to the creation of the educational website laradioactivite.com in the early 2000s with Jeanne Laberrigue and Yves Sacquin. Since then and up to the present day, he has authored a large number of pages on the current website, thanks to the contacts he established in the fields of radioactivity and nuclear science.
