Hi! My name is
Thomas Galeandro-Diamant
I founded the company Chemintelligence, now part of the ChemAI group, where we develop artificial intelligence-based software that accelerates chemistry 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:
-
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
-

-
The Low Temperature Synthesis of Very Small and Non-Crystalline Iron-Based Nanoparticles: Application in Alkene Hydrosilylation

One patent has also been written on my PhD work.
