Report summary

The University of Texas at Austin Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2021-2023 reads as a 39-PI network with 32 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (41% of slots across 28 PIs; 28 labels), Electrical and Electronic Engineering as the leading subfield (26% of slots across 23 PIs; 23 labels), and 2D Materials and Applications as the leading topic (5% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 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 Yuebing Zheng (40.3 weighted works; Microfluidic and Bio-sensing Technologies, Orbital Angular Momentum in Optics). The strongest pairings are Ray T. Chen and David Z. Pan (23 shared works, weight 12.7). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 38.9, around Materials Chemistry, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, led by Yuebing Zheng, Jamie H. Warner, Deji Akinwande.
