Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is a 104-PI network with 104 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Engineering as the leading field (28% of slots across 56 PIs; 56 labels), Civil and Structural Engineering as the leading subfield (8% of slots across 21 PIs; 21 labels), and Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology as the leading topic (3% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The leading PI names are Ju Li (171.1 weighted works; Advancements in Battery Materials, Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies); Markus J. Buehler (166.5 weighted works; Machine Learning in Materials Science, Silk-based biomaterials and applications). The clearest collaboration lines are Markus J. Buehler and Zhao Qin (59 shared works, weight 27.1). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 59.7, around Civil and Structural Engineering, Biomaterials, Materials Chemistry, led by Markus J. Buehler, Franz‐Josef Ulm, Admir Mašić.
