Chapman was an undergraduate student at the University of Sydney. She remained in Australia for doctoral research, studying molecular framework materials.[1] During her PhD, Chapman completed her crystallography measurements at Argonne National Laboratory.[2] Chapman then joined the Argonne National Laboratory as an Arthur Holly Compton Fellow.[citation needed]
Chapman joined the high energy X-ray beamline of the X-ray science division at the Argonne National Laboratory in 2009.[3][4] She developed approaches to better understand the structures of materials during operation.[5] For example, she is interested in what's happening to the structure of batteries during charging/discharging.[3] After nine years at Argonne, Chapman joined the faculty at Stony Brook University, where she was appointed the Joseph Lauher and Frank Fowler Endowed Chair in Materials Chemistry. She directs a centre focused on energy research, part of the United States Department of Energy Energy Frontier Research Centers.[6]
Chapman's research considers the development of new materials for batteries, catalysis and gas capture. She has worked on the development of high X-ray based fidelity tools to identify structure-property relationships in these materials.[7]
Chapman has said that her role model is Clare Grey.[2]
