Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Mechanics
  • Thermodynamics

Robert J. Glass focuses on Porous medium, Mechanics, Instability, Vadose zone and Infiltration. His Porous medium study combines topics in areas such as Absorption and Temporal resolution. His study in the field of Péclet number is also linked to topics like Molecular diffusion.

As part of the same scientific family, Robert J. Glass usually focuses on Vadose zone, concentrating on Water content and intersecting with Soil science, Exploration geophysics, Mathematical geophysics and Spatial variability. His Infiltration research is included under the broader classification of Geotechnical engineering. His biological study deals with issues like Gravitation, which deal with fields such as Fluid dynamics.

His most cited work include:

  • The topology of interbank payment flows (428 citations)
  • Targeted Social Distancing Designs for Pandemic Influenza (357 citations)
  • Mechanism for finger persistence in homogeneous, unsaturated porous media: Theory and verification (217 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mechanics, Geotechnical engineering, Porous medium, Capillary action and Fracture. The Mechanics study combines topics in areas such as Mineralogy and Boundary value problem. He has included themes like Fluid dynamics, Wetting and Soil science in his Geotechnical engineering study.

His Porous medium research includes themes of Gravity, Monotonic function, Richards equation and Environmental remediation. His Fracture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Intersection, Aperture, Flow and Matrix. His Infiltration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Field capacity and Geomorphology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (29.27%)
  • Geotechnical engineering (24.39%)
  • Porous medium (19.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2015)?

  • Complex adaptive system (9.76%)
  • Risk analysis (6.10%)
  • Management science (4.27%)

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

Robert J. Glass mostly deals with Complex adaptive system, Risk analysis, Management science, Adaptive system and Resource. His research in Complex adaptive system intersects with topics in Community of practice, Industrial organization and Systems engineering. His work carried out in the field of Risk analysis brings together such families of science as Interdependence and Robustness.

He interconnects Uncertainty analysis, Selection and Environmental planning in the investigation of issues within Management science. His study in Resource is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Discount points, Volatility, Downstream and International economics. In his works, Robert J. Glass performs multidisciplinary study on International market and Actuarial science.

Between 2009 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Health outcomes and costs of community mitigation strategies for an influenza pandemic in the United States. (63 citations)
  • Complex Adaptive Systems of Systems (CASoS) Engineering: Mapping Aspirations to Problem Solutions. (9 citations)
  • A Multi-scale Paradigm to Design Policy Options for Obesity Prevention: Exploring the Integration of Individual-Based Modeling and System Dynamics. (6 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Mechanics
  • Thermodynamics

Robert J. Glass focuses on Complex adaptive system, Social network, Environmental health, Artificial intelligence and System dynamics. The concepts of his Complex adaptive system study are interwoven with issues in Control, Community of practice, Risk analysis, Simulation and Interdependence. His Social network research is under the purview of Social science.

Environmental health combines with fields such as Quality-adjusted life year, Cost-effectiveness analysis and Pandemic in his research. His Artificial intelligence research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Control engineering, Mathematical optimization and Complex dynamics. His System dynamics research incorporates themes from IBM, Knowledge management and Economic model.
