Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for Texas A&m University Department of Materials Science and Engineering is a 91-PI network with 261 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (38% of slots across 69 PIs; 69 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (21% of slots across 50 PIs; 50 labels), and Microstructure and mechanical properties as the leading topic (3% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The top weighted PIs are Hong‐Cai Zhou (210.6 weighted works; Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications, Covalent Organic Framework Applications). The strongest pairings are İbrahim Karaman and Raymundo Arróyave (86 shared works, weight 37.4). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 145.6, around Materials Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanics of Materials, led by Jodie L. Lutkenhaus, İbrahim Karaman, Raymundo Arróyave.
