Cable-Dunlap graduated from Clemson University in 1995 with her Ph.D. in Chemistry. She was named an ORNL Corporate Fellow from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is the “highest recognition for members of the ORNL research staff”.  Cable-Dunlap leads the Nuclear Nonproliferation Division’s Materials Characterization and Modeling Section. Her work focuses on collecting and characterizing particles from environmental samples and building teams to detect emanations, such as seismic vibrations, to detect potential rogue nuclear activity and to verify compliance with global nuclear nonproliferation standards set by the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA. She is cited for her advancement of the scientific underpinnings of mass spectrometry as well as collection technologies and strategies with a focus on nuclear nonproliferation. Cable-Dunlap is credited with inventing the radio frequency glow discharge Fourier transform ion cyclotron mass spectrometer and the patented Aerosol Contaminant Extractor to collect particles in a manner that allows for direct analysis of the collected particulates. Cable-Dunlap also helped champion the development of the ORNL Ultra-Trace Forensic Science Center, a premier mass spectrometry center that supports the IAEA. Recognized in the U.S. government as one of the leading experts in her field, Cable-Dunlap is sought out to advise on and lead cutting-edge research, field campaigns and exercises to detect proliferation activities. She has mentored dozens of early and mid-career staff members at ORNL and partner sites who have advanced in their careers as a result of her mentorship. Her peer-reviewed publications include more than 200 classified reports in addition to numerous presentations.
