Report summary

Stanford University Department of Chemistry in 2015-2017 reads as a 45-PI network with 37 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (20% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 16 PIs; 16 labels), and Electrocatalysts for Energy Conversion as the leading topic (3% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Barry M. Trost (64 weighted works; Catalytic Alkyne Reactions, Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research). The strongest pairings are Vijay S. Pande and Carlos X. Hernández (7 shared works, weight 4.3). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 13.1, around Molecular Biology, Spectroscopy, Organic Chemistry, led by Richard N. Zare, Vijay S. Pande, Robert M. Waymouth.
