Clare McCabe

McCabe completed her undergraduate training in the United Kingdom. She first specialised in chemistry at the University of Sheffield, and then concentrated on physical chemistry for her doctoral research. == Research and career ==

In 2002, McCabe joined the faculty at the Colorado School of Mines as an assistant professor. She joined Vanderbilt University in 2004 as an assistant professor of chemical engineering, and was promoted to associate professor in 2007 and full professor in 2011; in 2017, she was awarded a chaired professorship as Cornelius Vanderbilt Professor of Engineering. Her early research considered ionic liquids. In particular, McCabe sought to develop a framework that allowed the modelling and simulation of ionic liquids, both as neat materials and in blend systems. She makes use of molecular modelling and better understand real-world applications. == Awards and honours ==
