About this Event

The Royal Society Rising Star Africa Prize 2025 is awarded to Professor James Okwe Chibueze for work on advancing African astronomy through pioneering research, capacity building, and international collaborations.

Professor Chibueze is a Nigerian-born astronomer and astrophysicist, currently a Distinguished Professor at the University of South Africa. His research is focused on high-mass star formation, radio galaxies, and the use of cutting-edge observational techniques such as very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). His landmark discovery of the interaction between intra-cluster magnetic fields and the jets of radio galaxies, published in Nature, has been globally acclaimed.

Within the International Astronomical Union (IAU), Professor Chibueze serves as Vice President of the Executive Committee and sits on several divisions. He has a strong passion and commitment toward human capacity development in astronomy especially on the African continent. He spearheads educational programmes in Africa such as Pan-African School for Emerging Astronomers (PASEA), and Development in Africa through Radio Astronomy (DARA) aimed at nurturing the next generation of African astronomers.
