Report summary

For University of Alabama Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering in 2017-2021, the graph shows 19 visible PIs and 24 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Engineering as the leading field (30% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (12% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels), and Membrane Separation and Gas Transport as the leading topic (7% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). The network looks reasonably well-rounded, with visible collaboration groups but not so much concentration that one field explains the whole department. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Jason E. Bara (25.6 weighted works; Ionic liquids properties and applications, Membrane Separation and Gas Transport); C. Heath Turner (24.6 weighted works; Ionic liquids properties and applications, Catalysis and Oxidation Reactions). The clearest collaboration lines are Jason E. Bara and C. Heath Turner (19 shared works, weight 10.4). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 27.3, around Mechanical Engineering, Water Science and Technology, Biomedical Engineering, led by Jason E. Bara, C. Heath Turner, Qiang Huang.
