Report summary

University of California, Davis Department of Chemical Engineering in 2024-2026 reads as a 23-PI network with 15 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (20% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels), and Catalytic Processes in Materials Science as the leading topic (6% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 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 Ambarish Kulkarni (8.4 weighted works; Machine Learning in Materials Science, Catalytic Processes in Materials Science). The most visible ties are Coleman X. Kronawitter and Ron C. Runnebaum (4 shared works, weight 1.8); Nael H. El‐Farra and Matthew J. Ellis (3 shared works, weight 1.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 9.3, around Materials Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Molecular Biology, led by Ambarish Kulkarni, Bruce C. Gates, Adam J. Moulé.
