Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Materials Science and Engineering is a 52-PI network with 60 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Engineering as the leading field (30% of slots across 31 PIs; 31 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 22 PIs; 22 labels), and Advancements in Battery Materials as the leading topic (4% 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 leading PI names are Ju Li (52.5 weighted works; Advancements in Battery Materials, Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies). The clearest collaboration lines are Tian Gu and Juejun Hu (57 shared works, weight 28.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 55.6, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Chemistry, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, led by Juejun Hu, Caroline A. Ross, Alfredo Alexander‐Katz.
