Kelly M. Schultz studies the physical and mechanical properties of soft, water-based materials called hydrogels, including how they change over time as cells move through them or as they break down. Her work combines microscale measurement techniques, such as tracking tiny particles to measure material flow (microrheology), with materials chemistry to design gels that can degrade in controlled ways, useful for tissue engineering and studying stem cell behavior.

Publication output was higher around 2018-2019 and has since settled into a steadier, somewhat lower pace of about 3-5 papers per year through 2025.
