Research summary

Darryl Dickerson's research spans two connected areas: engineering biomechanics of soft tissues (such as studying how gelatin and hydrogels behave mechanically, and 3D printing/electrospinning materials to mimic heart tissue for potential tissue-engineering applications), and engineering education research focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and student success in engineering programs, particularly for underrepresented minority students. Prospective students could work on lab-based biomechanics/biomaterials projects or on education-focused research examining how programs and interventions affect engineering student outcomes.

Publication output has grown over the past decade, with a notable surge in 2024 following a fairly steady but modest earlier pace.
