Hi! My name is

Thomas Galeandro-Diamant

I founded the company Chemintelligence, where we develop artificial intelligence-based software that accelerates chemistry and materials R&D.

Before that, I worked at Solvay, in the Research and Innovation Center of Lyon.

I was a chemistry research scientist, specialized in organic chemistry and catalysis, and I developed new products and processes.

I have a PhD in chemistry

The subject of my PhD was the development of nanostructured catalysts for alkene hydrosilylation, a reaction used a lot in the silicone industry. The project was a collaboration with Bluestar Silicones (now Elkem Silicones).

My research has led to 3 publications:

1. Platinum nanoparticles in suspension are as efficient as Karstedt's complex for alkene hydrosilylation
   Galeandro-Diamant, T.; Zanota, M.-L.; Sayah, R.; Veyre, L.; Nikitine, C.; de Bellefon, C.; Marrot, S.; Meille, V. and Thieuleux, C. Chem. Comm. 2015, 51, 16194-16196
   
2. Pt nanoparticles immobilized in mesostructured silica: a non-leaching catalyst for 1-octene hydrosilylation
   Galeandro-Diamant, T.; Sayah, R.; Zanota, M.-L.; Marrot, S.; Veyre, L.; Thieuleux, C. and Meille, V. Chem. Comm. 2017, 53, 2962-2965
   
3. Alkene hydrosilylation with supported and unsupported Ni nanoparticles: strong influence of the Ni environment on activity and selectivity
   Galeandro-Diamant, T.; Suleimanov, I.; Veyre, L.; Bousquié, M.; Meille, V. and Thieuleux, C. Catal. Sci. Tech. 2019, 9, 1555-1558
   

One patent has also been written on my PhD work.
