McIntyre was born in 1960[1] grew up in San Antonio, Texas, the only child of two school teachers.[3] She received her PhD in physics in 1990 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1990. Her research focus is condensed matter physics, and she completed a dissertation "New models of magnetic interactions for bound magnetic polarons in dilute magnetic semiconductors" advised by Peter A. Wolff.[4] When she was a graduate student, McIntyre co-founded the National Conference of Black Physics Students and organized the first NCBPS conference.[5] For this work, she became one of the first recipients of the MIT's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Leadership Award in 1995.[3] She continues to be involved[6] in this organization.
