She subsequently took the equivalent of an undergraduate physics curriculum at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, The Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on an un-matriculated basis while working in New York City and Cambridge, Massachusetts. She was admitted to the masters and doctoral programs in optics at the University of Rochester in New York and produced both a master's[5] and doctoral thesis[6] in the area of gradient-index optics made by ion exchange in glass, thesis advisor Duncan T Moore. Career historyHoude-Walter taught laser physics and optical engineering at the The Institute of Optics, University of Rochester beginning in 1987. Houde-Walter was the first female regular faculty member for the first 80 years of the Institute's history. While serving as assistant professor, she co-founded a laser manufacturing company, LaserMax, Inc., now known as LaserMaxDefense (“LMD”), with her husband, Will Houde-Walter in 1989. Houde-Walter was elected to the Board of the Optical Society (OSA) in 1994 and later elected to lead the organization in the capacity of OSA President in 2005.[7] She left the University of Rochester at rank of Full Professor of Optics (tenured) in 2005 and was appointed adjunct faculty at the, University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences that same year.[8] Houde-Walter was selected for the 71st Joint Civilian Orientation Conference (JCOC-71) in 2006, held in United States Central Command. Houde-Walter served a full term on the US Air Force Scientific Advisory Board, and multiple terms on the Army Science Board. Houde-Walter also serves on the Special Operations/Low Intensity Conflict Division Board, National Defense Industry Association. Dr. Houde-Walter is now CEO of LaserMaxDefense (“LMD”), a laser manufacturer based in Rochester NY that specializes in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). Dr. Houde-Walter holds over twenty patents[9] and has published widely in the fields of optoelectronics and optical materials. Awards and recognitionsHoude-Walter is Fellow of both the Optical Society (1996) and the American Ceramic Society (2000). She has been recognized for her service with the Public Service Commendation Medal, United States Department of the Army (2014) and the Commander’s Award for Public Service, United States Department of the Air Force (2016).
