Biography
She came from what she described as a poor part of Belgium where people enjoyed stargazing. At ten she considered meteorology, but by twelve became interested in astronomy.[1] She received her PhD in March, 2004 and qualified as a permanent National Fund for Scientific Research (FNRS) researcher since 2009. She devotes part of her leisure to the popularization of sciences through conferences, animations, exhibitions, and articles. She has written several books that have earned her several awards.[2][3] Her scientific work has been just as rewarded and repeatedly so.[3][4]

In 2018, Nazé analyzed the controversy over a Ph.D. thesis proposed by a student at the University of Sfax, which defended a flat earth as well as a geocentric model of the solar system and young Earth creationism. The dissertation theme had been approved by the committee overseeing environmental studies theses (but not the final, full dissertation) and its summary had been made public and denounced in 2017 by professor Hafedh Ateb, a founder of the Tunisian Astronomical Society on his Facebook page.[5]
