Report summary

For Texas A&m University Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2015-2017, the graph shows 34 visible PIs and 40 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Materials Science as the leading field (44% of slots across 28 PIs; 28 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (26% of slots across 22 PIs; 22 labels), and Microstructure and mechanical properties as the leading topic (4% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is a healthy pattern, with enough links to reveal several interpretable groups rather than one undifferentiated component. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Hong‐Cai Zhou (36.8 weighted works; Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications, Covalent Organic Framework Applications). The clearest collaboration lines are X. Zhang and Haiyan Wang (21 shared works, weight 11.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 19.5, around Materials Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, led by Sarbajit Banerjee, A.A. Benzerga, İbrahim Karaman.
