In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Raymond M. Wheeler mostly deals with Horticulture, International Space Station, Crop, Life support system and Light-emitting diode. The study incorporates disciplines such as Photosynthesis and Brassica rapa in addition to Horticulture. His studies in Crop integrate themes in fields like Track, photoperiodism, Genetically modified organism and Stomatal conductance.

His work deals with themes such as Spaceflight, Engineering management and Agricultural science, which intersect with Life support system. His Light-emitting diode research integrates issues from Biomass, Monochromatic color, Sunlight and Light transmission. While the research belongs to areas of Biomass, Raymond M. Wheeler spends his time largely on the problem of Water content, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Nutrient.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Growth Chambers on the International Space Station for Large Plants (29 citations)
  • VEG-01: Veggie Hardware Validation Testing on the International Space Station (27 citations)
  • Light-emitting Diode Light Transmission through Leaf Tissue of Seven Different Crops (20 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

Raymond M. Wheeler mainly focuses on Light-emitting diode, Horticulture, Agronomy, Plant growth and International Space Station. His study explores the link between Light-emitting diode and topics such as Sunlight that cross with problems in photoperiodism, Chlorophyll and Anthocyanin. His Horticulture study often links to related topics such as Organoleptic.

His Fertilizer study, which is part of a larger body of work in Agronomy, is frequently linked to Validation test, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Plant growth study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ecology, Habitat and Environmental protection. In his study, Dry weight and Brassica rapa is inextricably linked to Biomass, which falls within the broad field of Nutrient.
