Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Charles W. Miller's research program investigates the tribological behavior of thin coatings, focusing on the impact of nanoparticle additives and surface modifications on material performance. His recent publications examine laser surface texturing techniques for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings and stainless steel substrates, aiming to enhance tribological properties. Miller also studies the influence of copper (Cu) nanoparticles on the tribological performance of polydopamine (PDA) + PTFE coatings under oil-lubricated conditions, as well as the effects of graphite particle coatings on 60NiTi alloy. His work includes microscale friction and deformation analysis using nanoscratch tests.

In addition to materials science, Miller has contributed to research in organ transplantation, specifically liver transplantation. His publications address programmatic normothermic machine perfusion and its association with outcomes for patients with lower Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores. He has also focused on methodologies for quantifying flavin mononucleotide to improve decision-making in organ transplantation and has authored work on new eras of decision-making in liver transplantation.

Miller's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 29, with 288 total publications and 3,390 total citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He has received funding for two conference awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF), totaling $61,600. His collaborative network includes researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
