Paulette Clancy is a British physicist and Professor of Materials Science at Johns Hopkins University.[1][2][3][4] Her research investigates the development of machine learning strategies to advance innovation in materials design, with a focus on complex situations (e.g. solution processing). She was awarded the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Women's Initiatives Mentoring Award.

Early life and education[edit]

Clancy is from London.[5][6] She was an undergraduate student at Queen Elizabeth College, where she studied chemistry. She moved to the University of Oxford for her doctoral research in physical chemistry.[7][5][8]

Research and career[edit]

After her PhD, Clancy was a postdoctoral researcher at both Cornell University and the University of London. During her postdoc at Cornell she bought a Chevrolet Camaro and drove all around North America.[6] She returned to the United Kingdom, where she worked for an oil company.[6]

In 1987 Clancy joined the faculty at Cornell University. She spent over thirty years at Cornell, eight of which she spent as the Director of the Computational Science and Engineering and Bodman Chair of Chemical Engineering. Clancy founded the Women in Science community at Cornell University, and has advocated for equity and inclusion throughout her career.[9] She joined the faculty at the Whiting School of Engineering in 2018, and was appointed the Edward J. Schaefer Professor in 2023.[10]

Her research investigates the use of computational materials science. She looks to understand the relationship between atomic structure and material properties.[6] At Johns Hopkins University she leads the Data Science and AI Initiative. Her research involves computational simulations of semiconducting materials, include inorganic (e.g. silicon and germanium) and molecular systems.[8][11] She is interested in the simulation of complex organic systems (e.g. antibacterial oligomers and covalent organic frameworks), understanding processes involved during nucleation and crystal growth, and the development of large-scale models for materials innovation (machine learning, force fields, Bayesian optimisation).[11]

Awards and honours[edit]

Selected publications[edit]

Her publications[1] include:

  • Pentacene Thin Film Growth[2]
  • A 2D covalent organic framework with 4.7-nm pores and insight into its interlayer stacking[3]
  • Comparison of semi-empirical potential functions for silicon and germanium[4]
