Report summary

Stony Brook University Department of Civil Engineering in 2015-2026 reads as a 15-PI network with 8 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (38% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels), Civil and Structural Engineering as the leading subfield (18% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels), and Coastal and Marine Dynamics as the leading topic (7% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 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 Ali Khosronejad (34.8 weighted works; Wind Energy Research and Development, Wind and Air Flow Studies); Fotis Sotiropoulos (28.3 weighted works; Wind Energy Research and Development, Wind and Air Flow Studies). The strongest pairings are Ali Khosronejad and Fotis Sotiropoulos (15 shared works, weight 11.8). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 15.6, around Aerospace Engineering, Earth-Surface Processes, Environmental Engineering, led by Ali Khosronejad, Fotis Sotiropoulos, Ali Farhadzadeh.
