Elizabeth Carol Dickey is an American materials scientist who is the Teddy and Wilton Hawkins Distinguished Professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research considers structure-property relationships for materials with grain boundaries and interfaces. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Ceramic Society and the Microscopy Society of America.

Early life and education

[edit]

Dickey was an undergraduate student at the University of Kentucky, where she studied materials science.[1] She moved to Northwestern University as a doctoral researcher, where she studied nickel oxide cubic zirconia.[2]

Research and career

[edit]

Dickey joined Pennsylvania State University in 2002, where she worked as associate director of the interdisciplinary Materials Research Institute and Director of the Materials Characterization Laboratory.[3] In 2011, she was made professor at North Carolina State University[4] where she oversaw the reorganization of the Analytical Instrumentation Facility and established the Center for Dielectrics and Piezoelectrics.[5]

Dickey looks to identify processing-structure-property relationships for ceramics and systems with grain boundaries and interfaces.[3] The complex chemistry of grain boundaries in materials can impact electrical and chemical transport. She combines advanced characterization techniques, e.g. electron microscopy,[6] infrared spectroscopy and ellipsometry, to understand the functional properties of materials.

Dickey was elected President of the American Ceramic Society in 2021.[7] That year she was made Head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.
