Report summary

For Stanford University Department of Physics in 2018-2020, the graph shows 37 visible PIs and 8 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (60% of slots across 32 PIs; 32 labels), Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics as the leading subfield (22% of slots across 17 PIs; 17 labels), and Dark Matter and Cosmic Phenomena as the leading topic (7% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). That looks relatively sparse, so claims about department-wide cohesion should be made carefully. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Rhiju Das (11.3 weighted works; RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms, RNA modifications and cancer). The clearest collaboration lines are Akio Kawasaki and G. Gratta (4 shared works, weight 2.2). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 3.3, around Nuclear and High Energy Physics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, led by G. Gratta, Akio Kawasaki, B. G. Lenardo.
