Her work spans international comparisons of longevity, socioeconomic disparities in survival rates, and the application of advanced statistical techniques like compositional data analysis. Notable projects include the ERC-funded 'Unequal Lifespans' initiative and the AXA Chair in Longevity Research. She collaborates widely with institutions globally and contributes to policy-relevant topics such as pension age indexation and retirement age survival forecasts.

Dr. Bergeron Boucher holds a Ph.D. in Demography and has taught courses on R programming for demographic analysis, introducing students to modern computational tools in population studies. She actively participates in academic conferences and has authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications, reflecting her expertise in formal demography and mortality modeling.
