Report summary

The University of Texas at Austin Department of Civil Architectural and Environmental Engineering in 2015-2017 reads as a 37-PI network with 25 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (30% of slots across 21 PIs; 21 labels), Civil and Structural Engineering as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels), and Geotechnical Engineering and Underground Structures as the leading topic (4% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 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 most prominent PIs by weighted works are Chandra R. Bhat (18.9 weighted works; Economic and Environmental Valuation, Urban Transport and Accessibility). The strongest pairings are Brady R. Cox and David P. Teague (5 shared works, weight 3.2); Loukas F. Kallivokas and Babak Poursartip (4 shared works, weight 2.6). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 8.7, around Materials Chemistry, Environmental Engineering, Civil and Structural Engineering, led by Navid B. Saleh, Raissa Douglas Ferron, Daene C. McKinney.
