Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJose Garrido is a Senior Researcher at Microsoft with eight years of experience building AI-driven computational methods to explore chemical space and accelerate discovery in catalysis, energy conversion, and molecular electronics. His work spans open-source Bayesian optimization platforms for multi-objective reaction optimization developed at Princeton to surrogate ML models for high-temperature electrochemistry and materials search from postdoctoral roles at Stanford and Columbia. Trained as a theoretical chemist (PhD, University of St Andrews) with a background in quantum mechanical modeling and materials science, he blends rigorous first-principles insight with practical AI tooling. Based in the Netherlands, he is notable for translating complex surface-science theory into deployable algorithms that speed experimental iteration, and for championing reproducible, open-source approaches to autonomous chemical discovery.
