About
Keyan Villat is a leading figure in the digital transformation of catalysis research, whose work centers on integrating high-throughput experimentation with advanced computational data analysis. His most impactful contribution is the development of Swiss CAT+, a pioneering data-driven infrastructure co-headed by EPFL and ETH Zurich. This platform, detailed in his highly cited 2023 paper (25 citations), provides the scientific community with a unique integrated technology stack that combines automated synthesis and testing with sophisticated machine learning and data management. By enabling rapid, systematic exploration of catalytic systems, Villat’s work is fundamentally accelerating the discovery and optimization of new catalysts, moving the field from intuition-based trial-and-error to a more efficient, data-centric paradigm. His achievements are notable not only for their technical ambition but also for their collaborative, cross-institutional nature, establishing a vital resource for researchers across Switzerland and beyond. Through Swiss CAT+, Villat is helping to redefine how catalytic materials are discovered, promising to shorten the development cycle for critical chemical processes.
