Vincent Boucher specializes in the drafting and prosecution of patent applications and in providing opinions in the field of physical sciences, including optics and photonics, lasers, image acquisition and processing, condensed matter physics and nanotechnology.
A member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec, Vincent Boucher completed a Bachelor in Engineering Physics at École Polytechnique de Montréal (with a concentration in micro and nanotechnologies). He was also awarded a Master of Applied Sciences and a Doctorate in Engineering Physics, also from École Polytechnique de Montréal.
His graduate studies were carried out at the Laboratoire de magnétisme at École Polytechnique de Montréal and were concerned with the modeling of the electromagnetic properties of metamaterials based on various magnetic nanostructures, most notably arrays of ferromagnetic nanowires for novel applications in telecommunications.
