Early life and education

Djuidjé Kenmoé was one of 25 children, her mother being her father's sixth wife. At the age of seven she insisted on going to primary school, walking Шаблон:Convert each way daily. The nearest secondary school was further away so one of her brothers taught her until a brother-in-law, who believed in women's education, paid for her to go to university and study physics. She graduated from the University of Yaoundé I with a first degree and planned to do a masters and doctorate, but family financial changes meant that she changed to a teacher training course, intending to finance her PhD studies from her teaching job. She met and married Aloyem Kaze at teaching college, but continued to work and study for her PhD which she achieved after seven years.[2]

Career

Djuidjé Kenmoé's research concerns friction and wear of surfaces.[2] She has also published on the design of domestic solar energy supplies.[3] In 2016 she was appointed associate professor in the department of physics at the University of Yaoundé I, having previously been teaching assistant, assistant lecturer and senior lecturer.[1]

Djuidjé Kenmoé won a 2018 OWSD-Elsevier Foundation Award,[4][5] and a Fulbright Scholarship in the same year.[6]
