Report summary

Stanford University Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2022-2026 reads as a 51-PI network with 72 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (33% of slots across 34 PIs; 34 labels), Electrical and Electronic Engineering as the leading subfield (18% of slots across 21 PIs; 21 labels), and Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies as the leading topic (5% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 19 PIs across distinct clusters. The leading PI names are Yi Cui (42.6 weighted works; Advancements in Battery Materials, Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies); Eric A. Appel (40.6 weighted works; Hydrogels: synthesis, properties, applications, Immunotherapy and Immune Responses). The most visible ties are Eric Pop and Andrew J. Mannix (13 shared works, weight 5.3). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 20.2, around Materials Chemistry, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, led by Eric Pop, Guosong Hong, Aaron M. Lindenberg.
