Summary
Quentin Fournier is a Research Fellow at Mila with 10 years of experience applying neural networks and Transformer architectures to real-world problems, most recently exploring language models for drug discovery. He completed a PhD at Polytechnique Montréal where he used Transformers to detect anomalies in Linux kernel traces and taught the graduate Data Mining course, blending research with pedagogy. His background spans academic internships and industry projects—speaker verification, detection/classification tasks, and long-term dependency modeling—demonstrating a knack for adapting deep learning to low-level and applied domains. Based in Montreal, he moves fluidly between foundational research and translational applications, bringing practical engineering experience to high-impact AI problems.
