Professor Dean Tantillo grew up in Quincy, Massachusetts and went to the same high school as famous chemist R. B. Woodward. After completing his AB in Chemistry at Harvard University, he completed his Ph.D. with Prof. Ken Houk at UCLA. Following a post doc with Prof. Roald Hoffman at Cornell University computationally studying constrained molecules, he now runs his own computational research lab at UC Davis where he is a Professor of Chemistry. His group study various mechanistic questions computationally such as cascade polycyclization reactions and understanding non-statistical dynamics effects as well as effects of entropy on selectivity during a chemical reaction. He has won numerous awards and recognitions such as Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award from American Chemical Society and Inclusion & Diversity Prize from Royal Society of Chemistry.
