Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for New York University Department of Physics is a 23-PI network with 4 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (34% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), and Experimental and Theoretical Physics Studies as the leading topic (3% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 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 Alan D. Sokal (8.1 weighted works; Mathematical functions and polynomials, Advanced Combinatorial Mathematics); Alexander Y. Grosberg (7.6 weighted works; Genomics and Chromatin Dynamics, Diffusion and Search Dynamics). The strongest pairings are Alexandra Zidovska and Alexander Y. Grosberg (4 shared works, weight 2.2); Dries Sels and Flaviano Morone (2 shared works, weight 1.6). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 2 PIs, 1 internal connections, weight 2.2, around Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, led by Alexander Y. Grosberg, Alexandra Zidovska.
