Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Chemistry is a 113-PI network with 280 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Chemistry as the leading field (20% of slots across 45 PIs; 45 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (12% of slots across 32 PIs; 32 labels), and Spectroscopy and Quantum Chemical Studies as the leading topic (2% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The top weighted PIs are Timothy M. Swager (150.3 weighted works; Advanced Chemical Sensor Technologies, Luminescence and Fluorescent Materials). The strongest pairings are Keith A. Nelson and A. A. Maznev (53 shared works, weight 20.6). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 52.2, around Materials Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Surfaces, Coatings and Films, led by Yang Shao‐Horn, Bradley D. Olsen, Jeremiah A. Johnson; group 2 with 7 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 50.5, around Organic Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, led by Stephen L. Buchwald, Bradley L. Pentelute, Yang Yang.
