Education

McCartney has a 1982 bachelor's degree from Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. She went to Arizona State University for doctoral study, completing her Ph.D. in 1989. [1] Her dissertation, Observations of electron irradiation effects at transition metal oxide surfaces, was supervised by David J. Smith. [2]

Recognition

In 2009, McCartney and her coauthors Rafal E. Dunin-Borkowski and Takeshi Kasama were the recipients of the Ernst Ruska Prize  [ de ] of the German Society for Electron Microscopy. [3]

McCartney was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2012, after a nomination from the APS Division of Materials Physics, "for outstanding contributions to the development of off-axis electron holography and applications to the quantification of nanoscale electrostatic and magnetic fields". [4]
