Dean Kamen mainly focuses on Mechanical engineering, Plunger, Computer hardware, Mechanics and Actuator. His research investigates the connection between Mechanical engineering and topics such as Adapter that intersect with problems in Pump chamber, Plunger pump, PATH and Manifold. His research on Plunger also deals with topics like

• Position sensor that connect with fields like Microphone and Port,
• Executable most often made with reference to Mechanism.

Dean Kamen has included themes like Loudspeaker, Doors and Closed position in his Computer hardware study. His study in Mechanics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Inlet, Peristaltic pump, Tube, Heat exchanger and Heating element. His research investigates the link between Actuator and topics such as Remote control that cross with problems in Volume.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Control of a personal transporter based on user position (121 citations)
• Flow meter and related system and apparatus (24 citations)
• Flow meter using a dynamic background image (19 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

• Mechanical engineering
• Electrical engineering
• Operating system

His primary areas of study are Drip chamber, Mechanical engineering, Flow measurement, Image sensor and User interface. His work in Drip chamber incorporates the disciplines of Fluid dynamics, Front, Tube, Inlet and Mechanics. While working on this project, Dean Kamen studies both Mechanical engineering and Bioreactor.

Dean Kamen interconnects Image and Field of view in the investigation of issues within Flow measurement. His User interface research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Human–computer interaction, Interface and User control. His Computer hardware research extends to Embedded system, which is thematically connected.
