Clare M. McCabe

Research Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
Professor of Chemistry

Overview:

The McCabe group uses molecular modeling to understand the thermodynamic and transport properties of nanomaterials and biological systems. Current projects including developing novel lubricants for nano-scale devices, understanding the self-assembly of skin lipids, and developing theoretical tools to understand how to control the dispersion and aggregation of nanoparticle based systems.
