Report summary

University of California, Davis Department of Chemical Engineering in 2018-2020 reads as a 25-PI network with 14 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (25% of slots across 13 PIs; 13 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), and Lipid Membrane Structure and Behavior as the leading topic (7% 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 leading PI names are Bruce C. Gates (18.4 weighted works; Catalytic Processes in Materials Science, Metal-Organic Frameworks: Synthesis and Applications). The most visible ties are Somen Nandi and Karen A. McDonald (17 shared works, weight 7.5). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 13.1, around Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, led by Adam J. Moulé, Roland Faller, Somen Nandi; group 2 with 4 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 3.1, around Materials Chemistry, Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment, Food Science, led by Bruce C. Gates, Ron C. Runnebaum, Ambarish Kulkarni.
