Dr. Djobo is a scientist working at the Local Materials Promotion Authority (MIPROMALO), a research institute under the Ministry of Scientific Research and Innovation of Cameroon. He was awarded his Ph.D. in Inorganic chemistry from the University of Yaoundé I, Cameroon, in 2017. His research interest includes the contribution towards the decarbonization of the building and construction sector by the development of low carbon cement-based construction materials. These include earthen building materials (compressed earth bricks, earth concrete), alternative cement (geopolymer, alkali-activated material, and phosphate binder), porous materials for insulating of building. The results from his research have led to publications in scientific journals with high impact. In 2014 he was awarded the Third world academy of sciences fellowship for carrying out part of his Ph.D. research in India. Then, he was granted in 2018 the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in Germany. Since 2020 he is an Affiliates Member of the African Academy of Sciences. He is also a member of scientific societies such as the RILEM (International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures) and the German Society of Chemistry (GDCh)/building and construction chemistry chapter.
