Report summary

University of Alabama Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering in 2022-2026 reads as a 24-PI network with 27 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (22% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (11% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels), and Membrane Separation Technologies as the leading topic (6% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 15 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Jason E. Bara (26.1 weighted works; Ionic liquids properties and applications, Carbon dioxide utilization in catalysis). The strongest pairings are M. N. V. Ravi Kumar and Meenakshi Arora (17 shared works, weight 8.4). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 27.4, around Biomedical Engineering, Catalysis, Materials Chemistry, led by Jason E. Bara, C. Heath Turner, Tibor Szilvási.
