Report summary

For Boston University Department of Physics in 2021-2023, the graph shows 27 visible PIs and 3 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (29% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics as the leading subfield (10% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels), and Particle physics theoretical and experimental studies as the leading topic (5% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That looks relatively sparse, so claims about department-wide cohesion should be made carefully. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are P. L. Krapivsky (14.1 weighted works; Stochastic processes and statistical mechanics, Theoretical and Computational Physics). The clearest collaboration lines are Daniel Segrè and Kirill S. Korolev (3 shared works, weight 1.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 2 PIs, 1 internal connections, weight 1.6, around Molecular Biology, Genetics, Ecology, led by Daniel Segrè, Kirill S. Korolev.
