Report summary

The 2015-2017 picture for Texas A&m University Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is a 16-PI network with 3 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Engineering as the leading field (43% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels), Civil and Structural Engineering as the leading subfield (18% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels), and Asphalt Pavement Performance Evaluation as the leading topic (4% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The leading PI names are J. N. Reddy (27.9 weighted works; Composite Structure Analysis and Optimization, Nonlocal and gradient elasticity in micro/nano structures). The clearest collaboration lines are MirMilad Mirsayar and Dan G. Zollinger (3 shared works, weight 3). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 3 PIs, 2 internal connections, weight 4.8, around Civil and Structural Engineering, Mechanics of Materials, Pollution, led by MirMilad Mirsayar, Zachary Grasley, Dan G. Zollinger.
