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.
