Candidat au doctorat en sciences humaines appliquées, Université de Montréal Benoit Gauthier est détenteur d'un baccalauréat bidisciplinaire en sociologie et psychologie, d'une maîtrise en sociologie, d'un DESS en pédagogie de l'enseignement postsecondaire et d'une maîtrise en travail social. Il cumule près d'une dizaine d'années d'expérience en intervention, ayant notamment travaillé en centre de prévention du suicide, et comme travailleur social professionnel en CLSC, au programme Jeunes en difficulté (JED), puis au programme crise-ado-famille-enfance (CAFE), poste qu’il occupe parallèlement à son parcours doctoral en sciences humaines appliquées. Son intérêt pour le sujet de l'impact du virage numérique sur le développement des jeunes est par ailleurs né d'une impasse professionnelle vécue dans son organisation, se trouvant peu outillé pour intervenir auprès des familles et des enfants étant aux prises avec cette problématique.
