Physicists national lecture tour at UPEI

The 2018 Canadian Association of Physicists National Lecture tour is coming to UPEI.

Caroline Boudoux, an associate professor in the department of engineering physics at École Polytechnique Montréal, will present “Light at Heart – Fiber optics from laboratory to market” today at 4 p.m. in Room 128B in UPEI’s School of Sustainable Design Engineering building.

Boudoux will discuss recent advances in medical endoscopy that offer the potential to further increase patient comfort and increase access to remote organs. Her presentation will also explore the development of thin, single-fibre endoscopes that can transmit more than 85 per cent of the input light. The information will be relevant to those interested in health care and medical technologies.
