Dr. Hardy Medry Dieu-Veill NKODIA | tectonic analysis | Young Scientist Award

Assistant, Marine Ngouabi University Congo, Republic of the

Dr. Nkodia Hardy Medry Dieu-Veil is a Congolese geologist specializing in tectonic analysis, geodynamics, and structural geology. He holds a PhD in Geology from Marien Ngouabi University, focusing on the tectono-structural evolution of the West Congo Chain. His groundbreaking research has revealed why earthquakes occur in non-seismic areas like the Republic of Congo. With extensive experience in structural geology, remote sensing, and stress inversion analysis, he has mentored students and contributed to numerous geological studies. Dr. Nkodia has played a key role in scientific conferences and research collaborations, notably with the Royal Museum of Central Africa. He also founded Kongo Science, an association dedicated to advancing African scientific research. Recognized for his excellence, he has received multiple international awards and scholarships. Passionate about geoscience education and innovation, he continues to drive research in active tectonics and structural analysis across Central Africa.
