Report summary

For The Ohio State University Department of Physics in 2021-2023, the graph shows 40 visible PIs and 34 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (61% of slots across 34 PIs; 34 labels), Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics as the leading subfield (24% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), and Particle physics theoretical and experimental studies as the leading topic (9% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels). That concentration is a strength for a focused search, although candidates outside Physics and Astronomy should inspect the smaller groups closely. The top weighted PIs are Dongping Zhong (15.8 weighted works; Photosynthetic Processes and Mechanisms, Photoreceptor and optogenetics research); Eric Braaten (13.2 weighted works; Dark Matter and Cosmic Phenomena, Cosmology and Gravitation Theories). The most visible ties are Roland Kawakami and Shuyu Cheng (15 shared works, weight 6); Jay Gupta and Roland Kawakami (9 shared works, weight 4.5). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 15 internal connections, weight 25.1, around Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Condensed Matter Physics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, led by Roland Kawakami, Louis F. DiMauro, Alexandra S. Landsman.
