Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for New York University Department of Physics is a 20-PI network with 5 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (33% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels), Astronomy and Astrophysics as the leading subfield (11% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels), and Radio Astronomy Observations and Technology as the leading topic (5% 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 top weighted PIs are Katepalli R. Sreenivasan (7.9 weighted works; Fluid Dynamics and Turbulent Flows, Combustion and flame dynamics). The strongest pairings are David J. Pine and David G. Grier (1 shared works, weight 0.6). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 5 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 2.2, around Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Materials Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, led by David G. Grier, David J. Pine, L. Andrew Wray.
