In 2004, Alexandre Beaudoin successfully made, at the age of 27, the first efficient latent fingerprints development using a technique he has developed based on Oil Red O.Beaudoin, A.

Journal of Forensic Identification, 2007, 57 (4), 550–581 He then develops the concept of mini-PTA, on the basis of the Danish mini-HTA, consisting in Police Technology Assessment (PTA) for promoting the best technology purchase based on the regional realities of each police department.Beaudoin, A.

Master Thesis, Université de Montréal: Montréal, Canada. 2009 During his doctoral studies, he produces a thesis on the development of a synthetic pre-acquisition analysis index, the "Forensic Assessment of Technologies Effectiveness" (ForATE), which makes it possible to bridge the gap between forensic science and management.Beaudoin, A.
