Led by Lisa McElwee-White · Chemistry
What we study
The McElwee‑White Lab designs organometallic precursor molecules that can be turned into inorganic thin films and nanostructures. They test these precursors using methods like chemical vapor deposition, aerosol‑assisted CVD, and electron‑ or ion‑beam deposition, where the precursors decompose to form solid materials.
