Report summary

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 2015-2026 reads as a 119-PI network with 215 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (33% of slots across 73 PIs; 73 labels), Electrical and Electronic Engineering as the leading subfield (20% of slots across 54 PIs; 54 labels), and Photonic and Optical Devices as the leading topic (6% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 21 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Dirk Englund (99.5 weighted works; Photonic and Optical Devices, Neural Networks and Reservoir Computing). The strongest pairings are Jing Kong and Tomás Palacios (52 shared works, weight 23.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 78.2, around Materials Chemistry, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, led by Jing Kong, Mohammad Mahdi Tavakoli, Tomás Palacios.
