Wendyellé A. Alban NYANTUDRE Wendyellé A. Alban NYANTUDRE Machine Learning Engineer Safi, Morocco · he/him

I’m an engineer. In July 2026 I graduated with a Diplôme d’Ingénieur d’État in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from the École Nationale des Sciences Appliquées in Safi (Cadi Ayyad University). I have strong foundations in applied mathematics and computer science, and a passion for machine learning and deep learning. I’m currently open to PhD positions. My research interests are in deep learning, especially NLP, computer vision, multimodal learning, multilingual models, speech technologies and reinforcement learning.

Alongside my previous studies, I contributed to training and deploying translation, speech recognition and speech synthesis models for Mooré, a low-resource language with over 7 million speakers and very little data. Most recently, from March to August 2026, as a Mitacs Globalink research intern, I worked on hybrid quantum-classical generative modelling for the de novo design of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors (for the treatment of inflammatory diseases) at the Université de Moncton (Canada).

  • 5-LOX5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme involved in many inflammatory diseases, such as asthma and atherosclerosis, and in some cancers.

    AI Research Assistant

    — · PRIME Lab, Université de Moncton · Moncton, Canada
    • Reviewed the literature on quantum machine learning (QML) for drug discovery, covering molecular generative models and variational quantum circuits (VQC).
    • Collected and curated a dataset of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitors from chemical databases (ChEMBL, PubChem, BindingDB).
    • Implemented and evaluated hybrid quantum-classical generative architectures (QGAN, QVAE) and Transformers for the de novo generation of 5-LOX inhibitors.
  • MooréThe most widely spoken language in Burkina Faso, and my mother tongue.

    Machine Learning Engineer (part-time)

    — · GO AI Corporation · Remote
    • Designed, trained and deployed machine translation, speech recognition and speech synthesis models (MT, ASR and TTS) for Mooré, a low-resource language with more than 7 million speakers across five or more West African countries.
    • Contributed to building one of the largest Mooré-language corpora to date, for low-resource NLP applications.

  • Machine Learning Engineering Intern

    — · Technocolabs Softwares Inc. · Remote
    • Developed and deployed ML models that predict prepayment risk on mortgage-backed securities, improving risk assessment for financial institutions.
