Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for Princeton University Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is a 72-PI network with 106 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Environmental Science as the leading field (33% of slots across 42 PIs; 42 labels), Global and Planetary Change as the leading subfield (12% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), and Flood Risk Assessment and Management as the leading topic (5% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 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 Zhiyong Jason Ren (72.1 weighted works; Microbial Fuel Cells and Bioremediation, Membrane Separation Technologies). The strongest pairings are Eric F. Wood and Ming Pan (68 shared works, weight 28.9); Naveen Verma and James C. Sturm (55 shared works, weight 27.6). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 42.3, around Atmospheric Science, Environmental Engineering, Global and Planetary Change, led by Zhiyong Jason Ren, Elie Bou‐Zeid, Mark A. Zondlo; group 2 with 10 PIs, 22 internal connections, weight 103.2, around Global and Planetary Change, Water Science and Technology, Atmospheric Science, led by Eric F. Wood, Hylke E. Beck, Ming Pan.
