Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for University of California, Davis Department of Computer Science is a 56-PI network with 26 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Computer Science as the leading field (42% of slots across 41 PIs; 41 labels), Artificial Intelligence as the leading subfield (16% of slots across 21 PIs; 21 labels), and Topic Modeling as the leading topic (3% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The top weighted PIs are Ilias Tagkopoulos (29.2 weighted works; Bacterial Genetics and Biotechnology, Bioinformatics and Genomic Networks); Patrice Koehl (28.9 weighted works; Protein Structure and Dynamics, RNA and protein synthesis mechanisms). The strongest pairings are Biswanath Mukherjee and Massimo Tornatore (64 shared works, weight 33). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 18.4, around Artificial Intelligence, Information Systems, Computer Networks and Communications, led by Prasant Mohapatra, Michelle Cohn, Sean Peisert.
