Deaett's research focuses on the interplay between matrix theory, combinatorics, and graph theory. His work addresses problems like the minimum rank of graphs, spectrally arbitrary patterns, and the application of matroid theory to matrix pattern analysis. He emphasizes pedagogical innovation, seeking to make mathematical truths accessible through discovery-based learning.

Recent publications highlight his exploration of computational challenges in graph theory, algebraic conditions for sparse matrices, and connections between matroids and matrix patterns. His academic contributions are documented in journals such as the INFORMS Journal on Computing, Special Matrices, and The American Mathematical Monthly.
