Report summary

Texas A&m University Department of Physics and Astronomy in 2021-2023 reads as a 25-PI network with 23 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (43% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics as the leading subfield (24% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Quantum Information and Cryptography as the leading topic (7% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The leading PI names are А. М. Желтиков (24.4 weighted works; Laser-Matter Interactions and Applications, Advanced Fiber Laser Technologies). The most visible ties are Alexei V. Sokolov and Marlan O. Scully (25 shared works, weight 11.9). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 22 internal connections, weight 49.8, around Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Artificial Intelligence, Biophysics, led by А. М. Желтиков, Vladislav V. Yakovlev, Marlan O. Scully.
