Croix Laconsay

Croix is a postdoctoral researcher working with Professor Judy I. Wu at the University of Houston. He completed a Ph.D. in chemistry under the supervision of Professor Dean J. Tantillo at the University of California, Davis in 2022. His research broadly applies theoretical methods to interesting mechanistic puzzles in organic chemistry. Croix’s Ph.D. work developed mechanistic models for dirhodium-catalyzed reactions and heterolytic fragmentations. Currently, his interest is in organic photochemistry. Prior to his Ph.D., he worked with Professor Sason Shaik at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem as a Fulbright scholar. He holds a bachelor’s in chemistry from Marist College.
