CiTOS recently wrapped up two internships that brought a noticeable boost to our digital tool development efforts thanks to the complementary work of Thomas Brun and Tiana Lorielle Kankindi, both integrated into the same project team led by our PhD researcher Mathilde Croissant.
Thomas, a Master student from ECPM Strasbourg, spent four months diving into the challenges of applying cheminformatics and AI to flow chemistry. His mission: help us bridge the gap between advanced models and everyday experimental practice. He took on this challenge by prototyping a clean, intuitive interface that allows chemists to explore AI predictions without wrestling with code or complex workflows.
In parallel, Tiana, currently in her third year of the MIASHS program at Université Toulouse-Jean Jaurès, two months tackling a very different but equally practical need in the lab: navigating legal information on regulated substances. Her work resulted in a dedicated GUI that makes it faster for chemists to find the regulatory details they need, instead of digging through scattered documents or lengthy guidelines.
Working side by side, supported by Mathilde, Thomas and Tiana helped us push forward two tools that will eventually sit within the same ecosystem: accessible, clear, and built around the real needs of chemists at the bench.
We’re grateful for the energy and thoughtfulness they brought to the group, and we want to warmly congratulate them on the quality of their work. We look forward to seeing where their paths take them next—and we hope our collaboration has fueled their interest in the interface between chemistry, data, and digital innovation.
