Scientific carrier
Pascal G. LACROIX started working at the CNRS in 1984, under the guidance of Prof. Olivier KAHN at the University of Orsay (France). Title of the PhD: “Molecular materials with conducting and magnetic properties”.
He entered the field of nonlinear optics as a postdoctorate fellow, with Prof. Tobin J. MARKS, at Northwestern University (Evanston, USA), from Sept.1989 to Dec. 1991. He then returned to Orsay, where he pursued in the field of hybrid magnetic-NLO materials designed by intercalation chemistry. He moved to the CNRS
Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination (Toulouse, France) in 1994, where he developed a research program devoted to multi-property materials with nonlinear optical, magnetic and conducting properties. He was promoted CNRS Research Director in 2004. His current research interest now concerns nonlinear optics, switching NLO materials, and Ruthenium nitroxyl complexes.
Present functions Pascal LACROIX has been the Scientific correspondent to European scientific programs for the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination, since Jan. 2009.
He is the French director of the International (LIA) French-Mexican Laboratory in Molecular Chemistry with application in Materials and Catalysis (LCMMC) officially created in Oct. 2013.
Award Elected as an associated member of the Mexican Academy of Science in 2018
