Bincikenta yana kan nanoelectronics, ƙwararre ne a fannin girma da kuma siffanta na'urorin nanomaterials da na'urorin lantarki masu haɗaka waɗanda suka dogara da semiconductor compound.

## Rayuwar farko da ilimi
An haifi Daniels-Race a ranar 14 ga Fabrairun shekarar 1961 a New Orleans, Louisiana . Mahaifiyarta, Valda Marie Daniels, malamar makarantar firamare ce, kuma mahaifinta malamar makarantar sakandare ce kuma mai ba da shawara kan jagoranci.   

Daniels-Race ta fara sha'awar kimiyya sosai tun tana ƙarama, kuma bayan tattaunawa da iyayenta kafin ta fara makarantar yara kanana game da tsawon lokacin da mutane ke yi a makaranta, ta yanke shawarar tana da shekaru biyar cewa wata rana za ta nemi digirin-digirgir don zama masanin kimiyya.  

Daniels-Race ta sami tallafin karatu na kasa kuma ta sami digirinta na farko a fannin injiniyan lantarki daga Jami'ar Rice a shekarar 1983.  Ta kammala karatun digiri na biyu a fannin guda daga Jami'ar Stanford a shekarar 1985, wanda ƙungiyar Digiri na biyu ta Injiniyan Ƙananan Masana'antu ta dauki nauyinsa. 

Ta kasance ɗaya daga cikin ɗalibai goma da aka zaɓa don Shirin Haɗin gwiwar Bincike na AT&amp;amp;T wanda aka ba shi lambar yabo ta ƙasa don yin karatun digirinta na uku a fannin injiniyan lantarki a Jami'ar Cornell tare da Lester F.

Takardar shaidar Daniels-Race mai taken " *Nazarin spectrometric na electrons masu ƙarfi ta amfani da na'urorin harbawa masu ƙarfi (PBD)*, kuma bincikenta ya mayar da hankali kan ƙirƙirar jerin na'urorin harbawa bisa ga na'urorin harbawa na PBD don lura da abubuwan da ke faruwa na na'urorin harbawa na quantum .  A cikin aikinta, ta yi amfani da dabarun epitaxy na ƙwayoyin halitta don haɓaka na'urorin harbawa masu tasirin filin tsaye kuma ta nuna lura ta farko na na'urorin harbawa masu zafi da tasirin jigilar ballistic a cikin waɗannan tsarin.  Ta sami digirinta na uku a shekarar 1990, kuma ita ce mace ' yar Afirka ta 19 da ta sami digirin digirgir a fannin kimiyyar lissafi, ilmin taurari ko wani fanni mai alaƙa a Amurka. 

## Bincike da aiki
Daniels-Race ta shiga Sashen Injiniyan Lantarki da Kwamfuta a Jami'ar Duke a shekarar 1989, inda ta kafa dakin gwaje-gwaje na farko na hasken rana na molecular beam epitaxy na jami'ar kuma ta kafa shirin binciken gwaji a cikin kayan semiconductor na III-IV, tare da tallafin tarayya daga Gidauniyar Kimiyya ta Kasa .   Ta kasance malamar ziyara a Cibiyar Bincike ta Microelectronics a Jami'ar Texas Austin a bazara ta 1995.  Daga 2001 zuwa 2003, an ba ta kuɗi daga Ma'aikatar Makamashi ta Amurka don bincika tasirin bambancin da ke tattare da haɓakar hasken rana na hasken rana na tsarin girma biyu masu tauri.  Aikinta a Duke ya kuma mayar da hankali kan nazarin abubuwan da ke faruwa a cikin hasken rana kamar hulɗar electron - phonon, da haɓaka na'urorin microelectronic bisa ga rijiyoyin GaAs, AlGaAs da InAlAs .   

A shekara ta 2003, ta shiga Jami'ar Jihar Louisiana a matsayin mataimakiyar farfesa a fannin injiniyan lantarki da kwamfuta, inda yanzu ta zama Michael B. Voorhies Farfesa Mai Daraja.   A LSU, ta fara wani sabon layi na bincike da ke nazarin dabarun bunkasa ajiyar iska don haɓaka kayan lantarki masu haɗaka bisa ga na'urorin lantarki na semiconductor.    An ba wa ƙungiyarta kuɗi daga Hukumar Gudanarwa ta LSU ta hanyar Haɗin Gidauniyar Kimiyya ta Ƙasa da Masana'antu, Cibiyoyin Bincike, da shirin Dakunan Gwaji na Ƙasa (LINK), don neman aiki a cikin ƙananan na'urori tare da haɗin gwiwar Jami'ar Texas da ke Austin .  Bincikenta ya kuma mayar da hankali kan haɓakar abu da halayyar optoelectronic na wasu ƙananan nanostructures kamar carbon nanotubes da transition metal dichalcogenides .   A shekara ta 2023 an ba Daniels-Race kyautar Farfesa na Kyau ta Worley. 

A lokacin aikinta, Daniels-Race ta yi aiki kafada da kafada da abokan hulɗar masana'antu kamar Union Carbide, Exxon Research and Engineering Company, General Electric, da AT&amp;amp;T Bell Laboratories .  Ita kuma memba ce a kwamitin ba da shawara na Sashen Lissafi da Injiniyanci a Jami'ar Tulane,  mai fafutukar kare mata a tsiraru a STEM, kuma memba ce mai himma a cikin ƙungiyoyin ƙwararru da dama kamar American Physical Society, Materials Research Society, da National Society of Black Physics .    

Daniels-Race ta buga wani babi na littafi kan ƙera da tsara na'urori masu ƙarancin girma da kuma aikace-aikacensu ga littafin *Nanolithography: Fasahar Ƙirƙira Na'urori da Tsarin Nanoelectronic da Nanophotonic* .
