Report summary

Hobart and William Smith Colleges Department of Chemistry in 2015-2026 reads as a 9-PI network with 4 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Chemistry as the leading field (21% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (16% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels), and Oxidative Organic Chemistry Reactions as the leading topic (7% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels). That is of concern for a 9-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Erin T. Pelkey (6.7 weighted works; Oxidative Organic Chemistry Reactions, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation); Kristin M. Slade (6.5 weighted works; Protein Structure and Dynamics, Enzyme Structure and Function). The most visible ties are Maeve H. Kean and Erin T. Pelkey (3 shared works, weight 2.1); Justin S. Miller and David J. Slade (2 shared works, weight 1.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 2.7, around Molecular Biology, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Materials Chemistry, led by Kristin M. Slade, Justin S. Miller, David J. Slade.
