Matthew Quenneville

Machine Learning Scientist and Researcher

I am a machine learning scientist at Variational AI in Vancouver, working on small molecule drug discovery. I completed my PhD in physics at UC Berkeley, where I studied galaxies and the supermassive black holes that lie in their centers. I was particularly focused on how stars move within their galaxies, and what stellar motions can tell us about these galaxies, their shapes, and their central black holes. I’m originally from North Vancouver, BC, Canada, and graduated with my undergraduate degree in mathematical physics from Simon Fraser University.
