Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for Northwestern University Department of Chemistry is a 65-PI network with 223 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Materials Science as the leading field (26% of slots across 37 PIs; 37 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 28 PIs; 28 labels), and Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications as the leading topic (4% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The top weighted PIs are Omar K. Farha (98 weighted works; Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications, Covalent Organic Framework Applications); Mercouri G. Kanatzidis (88.6 weighted works; Perovskite Materials and Applications, Chalcogenide Semiconductor Thin Films). The strongest pairings are Tobin J. Marks and Antonio Facchetti (46 shared works, weight 21.7). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 12.3, around Molecular Biology, Spectroscopy, Biochemistry, led by Neil L. Kelleher, Richard B. Silverman, Brian M. Hoffman.
