Bio
Quentin Sellier holds a PhD in economics and management from UCLouvain (Belgium). During this academic project, he studied the impact of immersive technologies on the customer and user experience. He has conducted numerous research projects using multiple methodologies and analysis methods (interviews, statistics, eye tracking, biometrics, machine learning, etc.), collaborated with prestigious institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and published his work in several renowned scientific journals.
Prior to this, Quentin graduated with great distinction from the Louvain School of Management (Belgium) with a Master’s degree in Business Administration, specializing in Business Analysis. He also spent an exchange semester at one of Japan’s top business schools, working as a data analyst.
He is currently a research professional at ExperiSens, the ITHQ’s CCTT. At the same time, he teaches the Digital Asset Monetization course at HEC Montréal, where he guides undergraduates in the evaluation and valorization of data within organizations.
Current research projects
- Assessment and optimization of both customer reception and the customer journey in specific businesses.
- Audit and improvement of data evaluation, monetization and analysis practices for businesses operating in the tourism, hotel and restaurant services industry.
- Development of evaluation surveys for assessing the alignment of tourism students’ training with labour market expectations.
