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

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

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.
