Report summary

Cornell University Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2015-2017 reads as a 21-PI network with 33 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (31% of slots across 13 PIs; 13 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (16% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), and Advancements in Battery Materials as the leading topic (3% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 16 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Lynden A. Archer (27.7 weighted works; Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies, Advancements in Battery Materials); Lawrence J. Bonassar (24 weighted works; Osteoarthritis Treatment and Mechanisms, Knee injuries and reconstruction techniques). The strongest pairings are Debdeep Jena and Huili Grace Xing (51 shared works, weight 25.4). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 21.9, around Materials Chemistry, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, led by Lynden A. Archer, Ulrich Wiesner, Darrell G. Schlom; group 2 with 6 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 18.3, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Chemistry, led by Robert F. Shepherd, Christopher K. Ober, Emmanuel P. Giannelis.
