Dr Wollman is one of the most influential scientists in his field of research: photosynthesis. this is shown by his H-factor of 55, which, in the small field of bioenergetics is a remarkable accomplishment. He is also involved in the cultural and political life in France and abroad with a number of articles published in national and international magazines and newspapers on role of science in development of society and the defence of human rights. Since 2012-2019: he is the Director of the Laboratory of Excellence “Labex DYNAMO” that groups about 200scientists working in the field of energy transducing biological membranes.
