Report summary

Pennsylvania State University Department of Electrical Engineering in 2015-2017 reads as a 43-PI network with 21 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (37% of slots across 29 PIs; 29 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (12% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels), and Ferroelectric and Piezoelectric Materials as the leading topic (4% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is of concern for a 43-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Douglas H. Werner (21.1 weighted works; Metamaterials and Metasurfaces Applications, Optical Coatings and Gratings). The strongest pairings are Douglas H. Werner and Pingjuan L. Werner (22 shared works, weight 10.3). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 21.7, around Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Materials Chemistry, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, led by Douglas H. Werner, Susan Trolier‐McKinstry, Enrique D. Gomez.
