Report summary

University of California, Berkeley Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering in 2018-2020 reads as a 41-PI network with 33 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (26% of slots across 23 PIs; 23 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (12% of slots across 13 PIs; 13 labels), and Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies as the leading topic (4% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 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 Nitash P. Balsara (39.4 weighted works; Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies, Advancements in Battery Materials). The strongest pairings are Roya Maboudian and Carlo Carraro (17 shared works, weight 7.1). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 22.5, around Materials Chemistry, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Inorganic Chemistry, led by Nitash P. Balsara, Jeffrey R. Long, Ali Mesbah; group 2 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 18.7, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Chemistry, Biomaterials, led by Bryan D. McCloskey, Alexander Katz, Roya Maboudian.
