McIntyre was born in 1960 She received her PhD in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1990. Her research focus is condensed matter physics, and she completed a dissertation "New models of magnetic interactions for bound magnetic polarons in dilute magnetic semiconductors" advised by Peter A. Wolff. When she was a graduate student, McIntyre co-founded the National Conference of Black Physics Students and organized the first NCBPS conference. For this work, she became one of the first recipients of the MIT's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Leadership Award in 1995. in this organization. McIntyre then went on to serve as the Commonwealth Professor of Physics at George Mason University. == Career ==
