Report summary

Princeton University Department of Physics in 2015-2026 reads as a 107-PI network with 95 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (57% of slots across 89 PIs; 89 labels), Nuclear and High Energy Physics as the leading subfield (21% of slots across 48 PIs; 48 labels), and Black Holes and Theoretical Physics as the leading topic (8% of slots across 26 PIs; 26 labels). The focus is impressively clear, which is good for fit in Physics and Astronomy but worth checking for breadth outside that area. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are R. J. Cava (108.5 weighted works; Advanced Condensed Matter Physics, Perovskite Materials and Applications). The strongest pairings are R. J. Cava and N. P. Ong (26 shared works, weight 12.9). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 16 internal connections, weight 56, around Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Chemistry, led by R. J. Cava, M. Zahid Hasan, B. Andrei Bernevig; group 2 with 10 PIs, 13 internal connections, weight 32.6, around Nuclear and High Energy Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Condensed Matter Physics, led by Simone Giombi, Igor R. Klebanov, Eric Perlmutter.
