Biography Dr. Thibault Cantat did his undergraduate studies at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris from 2001 to 2003 where he studied chemistry and worked in the group of Dr. Anny Jutand and Prof. Christian Amatore. He completed his Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Nicolas Mézailles and Prof. Pascal Le Floch at the Ecole Polytechnique in September 2007, working on the theoretical and experimental aspects of new organometallic complexes and their use in catalysis. He is the recipient of the Ecole Polytechnique Best Thesis Award (2008) and the ParisTech Best Thesis Award (2008). T. Cantat was then appointed a Director's Postdoctoral Fellow at Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA) (from October 2007 to 2009), to work in the groups of Dr. Jaqueline L. Kiplinger (experimental f-element chemistry) and Drs. P. Jeffrey Hay and Enrique R. Batista (theoretical chemistry).
