About

Dr. Marie Audouin is a pioneering researcher in laser-tissue interaction, with a primary focus on the biophysics of surgical lasers and their clinical applications. Her most cited work, "The True Ablation Effect of Holmium YAG Laser on Soft Tissue" (2018, 53 citations), fundamentally redefines a key concept in laser surgery. By distinguishing between the laser’s penetration depth—where 90% of energy is absorbed—and the actual incision depth achievable in tissue, Audouin corrected a long-standing misconception in the field. This contribution has significant implications for improving surgical precision and safety, particularly in urology and minimally invasive procedures. Her research bridges physics and clinical practice, offering quantitative insights that guide laser parameter selection. With her work cited by surgeons and biomedical engineers alike, Audouin’s impact lies in clarifying foundational principles that enhance both understanding and application of laser technology in medicine. Her rigorous approach continues to influence how researchers and clinicians evaluate laser ablation effects, making her a key voice in advancing surgical laser science.
