Report summary

The 2015-2017 picture for New York University Department of Physics is a 15-PI network with 5 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (52% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels), Astronomy and Astrophysics as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels), and Cosmology and Gravitation Theories as the leading topic (7% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The leading PI names are Gia Dvali (13.3 weighted works; Cosmology and Gravitation Theories, Black Holes and Theoretical Physics). The clearest collaboration lines are Glennys R. Farrar and M. Unger (3 shared works, weight 1.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 1.8, around Statistical and Nonlinear Physics, Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, Geometry and Topology, led by Alexander Y. Grosberg, David G. Grier, David J. Pine.
