Lisa McElwee-White

Lisa McElwee-White is currently the Colonel Allen R. and Margaret G. Crow Professor of Chemistry at the University of Florida.

Following a term as Associate Dean for Administrative Affairs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, she returned to full-time conducting research and teaching in 1998.

Professor McElwee-White's current research interests center around the applications of organometallic chemistry in materials science.

[1] McElwee-White has studied the various complexities of CVD on tungsten nitride and carbonitride films (WNxCy films), exploring tungsten nitrido complexes as precursors[2][3] and analyzing the effect of ligand structure on the reaction.

McElwee-White introduced photochemical CVD processes as an alternative, and employed ruthenium-based precursors.
