Report summary

The 2024-2026 picture for Huazhong University of Science and Technology Computer Science is a 13-PI network with 6 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Computer Science as the leading field (50% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels), Artificial Intelligence as the leading subfield (25% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels), and Blockchain Technology Applications and Security as the leading topic (11% of slots across 1 PIs; 1 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 Peng Xu (4 weighted works; Cryptography and Data Security, Blockchain Technology Applications and Security); Zongyi Li (3.8 weighted works; no topic labels). The strongest pairings are Meiyi Xie and Hong Zhu (2 shared works, weight 1.1). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 3 PIs, 2 internal connections, weight 1.2, around mixed subfields, led by Zongyi Li, Li Xu, Hanqing Zheng; group 2 with 3 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 2.7, around Information Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Transportation, led by Hong Zhu, Meiyi Xie, M.
