Report summary

Purdue University West Lafayette Department of Computer Science in 2024-2026 reads as a 14-PI network with 2 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Computer Science as the leading field (31% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), Artificial Intelligence as the leading subfield (19% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels), and Advanced Database Systems and Queries as the leading topic (3% of slots across 1 PIs; 1 labels). That is of concern for a 14-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Daisuke Kihara (12.6 weighted works; Protein Structure and Dynamics, RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms); Satish V. Ukkusuri (11.4 weighted works; Transportation and Mobility Innovations, Traffic control and management). The most visible ties are Satish V. Ukkusuri and Vaneet Aggarwal (1 shared works, weight 0.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 2 PIs, 1 internal connections, weight 0.6, around Automotive Engineering, Computational Theory and Mathematics, Control and Systems Engineering, led by Satish V. Ukkusuri, Vaneet Aggarwal.
