Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for Boston University Ece is a 12-PI network with 4 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (32% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics as the leading subfield (23% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels), and Advanced Fiber Laser Technologies as the leading topic (11% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The top weighted PIs are Siddharth Ramachandran (36.7 weighted works; Advanced Fiber Laser Technologies, Optical Network Technologies). The strongest pairings are Christos G. Cassandras and Ioannis Ch. Paschalidis (13 shared works, weight 6.3); Ayse K. Coskun and Ioannis Ch. Paschalidis (8 shared works, weight 4.4). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 12.9, around Artificial Intelligence, Control and Systems Engineering, Information Systems, led by Ioannis Ch. Paschalidis, Christos G. Cassandras, Ayse K. Coskun.
