Bernard Frois (born January 21, 1943, in Toulouse, France)[1] is a French nuclear physicist, energy policy advisor, and science manager.
From 2001 to 2005 he was also a Directeur du Département Energie, Transport, Environnement et Ressources naturelles (Director of the Energy, Transport, Environment and Natural Resources Department) in France's Ministère en charge de l'enseignement supérieur et de la recherche (Ministry in charge of higher education and research).
Frois was vice-president of the OECD Global Science Forum, chaired the Europe Union's Hydrogen Platform Mirror Group, and served on many international committees.
In particular, their precision measurements of nuclear charge and current densities have offered novel perspectives on ground states and valence orbitals.
This body of work has provided firm benchmarks against which to test our understanding of the nuclear many-body problems.
