Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for Northwestern University Department of Chemistry is a 69-PI network with 216 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Materials Science as the leading field (24% of slots across 36 PIs; 36 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (12% of slots across 21 PIs; 21 labels), and Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications as the leading topic (3% 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 Mercouri G. Kanatzidis (112.8 weighted works; Perovskite Materials and Applications, Advanced Thermoelectric Materials and Devices); Omar K. Farha (108 weighted works; Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications, Covalent Organic Framework Applications). The clearest collaboration lines are Tobin J. Marks and Antonio Facchetti (49 shared works, weight 22.9); Omar K. Farha and Joseph T. Hupp (43 shared works, weight 18.3). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 29.5, around Molecular Biology, Spectroscopy, Inorganic Chemistry, led by Franz M. Geiger, Neil L. Kelleher, Brian M. Hoffman.
