Her research makes use of molecular modelling to understand the properties of biological systems, fluids and nanomaterials.
McCabe completed her undergraduate training in the United Kingdom.
[1] In 2002, McCabe joined the faculty at the Colorado School of Mines as an assistant professor.
[3] 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.
[3] McCabe is interested in lipid self-assembly, nanoscale tribology and molecular thermodynamics.
