He worked at the Algiers Observatory and discovered a number of asteroids.

The asteroid 1215 Boyer (discovered in 1932) was named after him by his colleague in Algiers, Alfred Schmitt. In turn Boyer named the 1617 Alschmitt asteroid in honor of Schmitt.

Boyer also named 1713 Bancilhon after Odette Bancilhon his colleague and wife of astronomer Alfred Schmitt.
