Report summary

Columbia University Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2021-2023 reads as a 17-PI network with 8 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (30% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (12% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels), and 2D Materials and Applications as the leading topic (4% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels). That is of concern for a 17-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Anil K. Lalwani (20.9 weighted works; Hearing, Cochlea, Tinnitus, Genetics, Hearing Loss and Rehabilitation). The strongest pairings are Anil K. Lalwani and Jeffrey W. Kysar (10 shared works, weight 5). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 5 PIs, 5 internal connections, weight 6.4, around Neurology, Sensory Systems, Psychiatry and Mental health, led by Anil K. Lalwani, Sunil K. Agrawal, Kristin M. Myers.
