Report summary

For Princeton University Department of Physics in 2018-2020, the graph shows 32 visible PIs and 16 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (52% of slots across 25 PIs; 25 labels), Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics as the leading subfield (20% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Black Holes and Theoretical Physics as the leading topic (8% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). That concentration is a strength for a focused search, although candidates outside Physics and Astronomy should inspect the smaller groups closely. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are R. J. Cava (36.4 weighted works; Advanced Condensed Matter Physics, Crystal Structures and Properties). The clearest collaboration lines are James C. Sturm and Robert H. Austin (7 shared works, weight 3.9). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 4.9, around Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Chemistry, led by R. J. Cava, B. Andrei Bernevig, Ali Yazdani; group 2 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 1.7, around Nuclear and High Energy Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Statistical and Nonlinear Physics, led by Simone Giombi, Fedor K. Popov, Alexey Milekhin.
