From 1990 to 1992 he taught and researched as an Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo in the field of plasma-material interaction. From 1992 to 1998 he headed a working group for plasma technology at Forschungszentrum Jülich. In 1994 he was awarded the Gerhard Hess Prizeawarded by the DFG. In 1995 he was appointed professor ( C3 ) from the Bergische Universität Wuppertal and has been an honorary professor at the Technical University of Munich since 1999 . In 2013 he was elected a member of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences .

So far, Harald Bolt has carried out his scientific research in the field of materials research. He developed u. a. Materials and coatings that help contain the hot plasma in fusion devices such as ITER and investigated the interaction of these materials with the fusion plasma. In the 6th Framework Program of the European Union, he coordinated one of the largest research projects in the materials sector, the EU project ExtreMat (New Materials for Extreme Environments).

Since 1981 he has been a member of the Catholic student association KDStV Franconia Aachen .
