His work has also appeared in leading academic journals, including Revue historique, French Historical Studies, History Compass, Crimes, Histoire & Sociétés, and the International Review of Penal Law.

His research has been supported by several competitive fellowships and grants, including funding from the Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique (FNRS), the Belgian American Educational Foundation, the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, and the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. In 2018, he was awarded the Herman Diederiks Prize by the International Association for the History of Crime and Criminal Justice and the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme. His doctoral thesis was also recognized in 2020 with the Henri Pirenne Fund Grant from the Royal Academy of Belgium.

At UCLouvain, Quentin is a member of the Centre de recherches en histoire du droit, des institutions et de la société (CRHiDI) and the Louvain Lab for Law, History and Society (LHS), and teaches historical methodology to undergraduate students.
