Bio
Engineering professor, textbook author, entrepreneur, and rookie mom, Prof. Boudoux obtained her Ph.D. from the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology program (USA). She then completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Ecole Polytechnique (France) before starting her laboratory in 2007 at Polytechnique Montreal (Canada). Her research topics range from laser-tissue interactions to novel hardware for imaging. With a colleague and strategic investors, she later founded Castor Optics, a spin-off company commercializing a new line of double-clad fiber couplers.

Fundamentals of Biomedical Optics
January 2017
Fundamentals of Biomedical Optics covers a comprehensive range of biomedical optics and biophotonics topics. The organization of the material is well thought out, starting with a toolbox of essential concepts in modern optics that are general yet detailed enough for a broad range of student backgrounds. The book's heart covers the essential topics of tissue optics and optical imaging system design concepts. With a well-balanced combination of engineering and physics, this text is an asset for students and will be a valued long-term reference.
Introduction à la conception en ingénierie
August 2017
This book deals with engineering design and is aimed at undergraduate students. The first part presents the main stages of the design method and describes the tools used by the engineer at each stage. The middle section aims to enhance future engineers' training by offering electronics, communications, and sustainable development workshops. Finally, in the third part, Quebec engineers present case studies highlighting the use of the design method in biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, and aerospace engineering.
Tools of Optics
August 2020
From geometrical optics to coherence, this book covers essential topics of modern optics.

CAP7015E Leading a Research Project
Fall, Winter, Summer
Major steps in carrying out research project: emergence and definition, planning and organization, execution, monitoring and completion. Generating and defining an original project. Planning and organization: research strategy; selection of tools and methods; types of activities and work breakdown structure; resources, deliverables, and timelines. Implementation, monitoring, and completion: starting the project, best practices, critical progress assessment, completion of a research project, networking, communication, and documentation. Management of risks, time, and priorities: risks inherent to an original research project with uncertain outcomes; locks, conflicts and delays; integration of ethics in research activities. Writing a preliminary research proposal
