Report summary

The University of Texas at Austin Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2015-2026 reads as a 85-PI network with 127 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (39% of slots across 56 PIs; 56 labels), Electrical and Electronic Engineering as the leading subfield (23% of slots across 41 PIs; 41 labels), and 2D Materials and Applications as the leading topic (3% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 21 PIs across distinct clusters. The leading PI names are Yuebing Zheng (143.5 weighted works; Plasmonic and Surface Plasmon Research, Microfluidic and Bio-sensing Technologies). The most visible ties are Ray T. Chen and David Z. Pan (62 shared works, weight 33.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 22.4, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Statistical and Nonlinear Physics, Molecular Biology, led by Robert W. Heath, Jeffrey G. Andrews, François Baccelli.
