Vincent Quirion
Hi there!
I’m a graduating Master’s student at Mila and Université de Montréal, supervised by Google DeepMind Staff Research Scientist Ioannis Mitliagkas.
Highlights of my career include machine unlearning research with Google DeepMind, research on drug-discovery at scale with Yoshua Bengio and Recursion (NASDAQ: RXRX), and building the MVP for a federated learning MIT startup that went on to raise millions of dollars.
I’m currently on the job market for ML & Research Engineer positions, please reach out if you think I’d be a good fit for your team!
