Report summary

Texas A&m University Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2024-2026 reads as a 40-PI network with 49 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (46% of slots across 37 PIs; 37 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (21% of slots across 22 PIs; 22 labels), and Additive Manufacturing Materials and Processes as the leading topic (4% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 15 PIs across distinct clusters. The leading PI names are Sarbajit Banerjee (15.1 weighted works; Inorganic Fluorides and Related Compounds, Transition Metal Oxide Nanomaterials). The most visible ties are İbrahim Karaman and Raymundo Arróyave (17 shared works, weight 8.4). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 18.9, around Mechanical Engineering, Materials Chemistry, Mechanics of Materials, led by Hong Liang, İbrahim Karaman, Kelvin Y. Xie.
