[1][2] Daniels-Race was a recipient of the National Achievement Scholarship and obtained her undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from Rice University in 1983.
[4] She was one of the ten students selected for the nationally awarded AT&T Cooperative Research Fellowship Program to pursue her doctorate in electrical engineering at Cornell University with Lester F.
[12] From 2001 to 2003, she was awarded funding from the US Department of Energy to investigate the effects of variation in molecular beam epitaxy growth of tensile-strained two-dimensional structures.
[3] Her research also focuses on the material growth and optoelectronic characterisation of other low-dimensional nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes and transition metal dichalcogenides.
[22][23] During her career, Daniels-Race has worked closely with industry partners such as Union Carbide, Exxon Research and Engineering Company, General Electric, and AT&T Bell Laboratories.
