OverviewAI-generated summary
Robert A. Fleming's research interests include materials science, with a focus on the frictional properties and durability of various coatings and textured surfaces. He has investigated enhanced durability of chromium-primed MoS2 coatings on aluminum for aerospace applications and studied the dependence of test parameters and material properties on the frictional characteristics of core-shell nanostructure textured surfaces. His work also extends to the reliability of photovoltaic (PV) cover glass materials, addressing issues of soiling and cementation through advanced X-ray scattering and spectroscopy, complemented by first-principles modeling.
Fleming has secured significant federal funding as a Principal Investigator (PI) on multiple National Science Foundation (NSF) grants. These include awards for campus-wide cyberinfrastructure modernization, the acquisition of an X-Ray Diffractometer, and the procurement of a Nanoindenter, all aimed at enhancing materials and biomaterials research and education at Arkansas State University. His scholarship metrics indicate a significant body of work, with an h-index of 19, 95 total publications, and over 1,000 citations.
His research collaborations extend across institutions, including shared publications with colleagues at Arkansas State University, the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Fleming's recent publications also touch upon medical research, including a Phase 3 clinical trial on molgramostim for autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis and studies on pulmonary gas exchange in patients with this condition.
