Albert was an undergraduate student at [[Pennsylvania State University]]. She first studied mathematics, before moving to [[Dartmouth College]] for graduate studies. Her master‘s work developed two-dimensional models to understand freezing using a moving mesh finite element approach.<ref>{{Cite thesis|title=Modeling two-dimensional freezing using transfinite mappings and a moving mesh finite element technique|url=https://www.worldcat.org/title/modeling-two-dimensional-freezing-using-transfinite-mappings-and-a-moving-mesh-finite-element-technique/oclc/13633731|date=1983|language=English|first=Mary Remley|last=Albert}}</ref> After earning her master’s degree in engineering sciences, she moved to the [[University of California, San Diego]]. Her doctoral research considered the growth of wavy ice in forced flow.<ref>{{Cite thesis|title=Wavy ice growth in forced flow|url=https://www.worldcat.org/title/wavy-ice-growth-in-forced-flow/oclc/24003024|date=1991|language=English|first=Mary Remley|last=Albert}}</ref> She joined the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab (CREEL),<ref name=”:0″>{{Cite web|title=Invited Participants|url=https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20130009178/downloads/20130009178.pdf|url-status=live|access-date=2021-12-12|website=NASA NTRS}}</ref> where she developed computational models to understand two-dimensional heat conduction.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Computer models for two-dimensional transient heat conduction|url=https://erdc-library.erdc.dren.mil/jspui/bitstream/11681/9334/1/CR-83-12.pdf|url-status=live|access-date=2021-12-12}}</ref>
