Professor Fleming's primary research interests focus on the lower extremity and spine, with a particular interest in knee and soft tissue biomechanics and biomedical instrumentation. Recent projects include the in vivo strain measurements of the human anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the development and application of an experimental model to investigate healing, and the progression of osteoarthritis following ACL injury/reconstruction and the biotribology of articular cartilage.

Dr. Fleming joined the Department of Orthopaedics in June 2003. He received his doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Vermont in 1996 and then served on the faculty of the Department of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation at the University of Vermont. His primary research interests focus on the lower extremity and spine with a particular interest in knee and soft tissue biomechanics, and biomedical instrumentation. Recent projects include the in vivo strain measurements of the human anterior cruciate ligament, the development of an experimental model to investigate graft healing and the progression of osteoarthritis following ACL injury and reconstruction, and the in vivo measurement of the forces and motion of spinal implants. He has received several awards for research including the O'Donogue Research Award of the American Orthopaedics Society of Sports Medicine (2005); the Bruce Selya Research Award of Lifespan (2005), GOTS-Beiersdorf Research Award (2000), the American Society of Biomechanics Post-doctoral Young Scientist Award (1999), and the Albert Trillat Young Investigator Award (1997). He is currently the principal investigator on two grants from the National Institutes of Health.
