Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for Texas A&m University Department of Physics and Astronomy is a 63-PI network with 92 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (46% of slots across 48 PIs; 48 labels), Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics as the leading subfield (20% of slots across 27 PIs; 27 labels), and Quantum Information and Cryptography as the leading topic (5% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 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 А. М. Желтиков (94 weighted works; Laser-Matter Interactions and Applications, Advanced Fiber Laser Technologies). The strongest pairings are Marlan O. Scully and Alexei V. Sokolov (63 shared works, weight 31.9). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 119.9, around Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Biophysics, Biomedical Engineering, led by А. М. Желтиков, Vladislav V. Yakovlev, Marlan O. Scully.
