Report summary

For University of California, Davis Department of Physics in 2015-2026, the graph shows 62 visible PIs and 48 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (60% of slots across 56 PIs; 56 labels), Nuclear and High Energy Physics as the leading subfield (20% of slots across 28 PIs; 28 labels), and Black Holes and Theoretical Physics as the leading topic (8% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels). That concentration is a strength for a focused search, although candidates outside Physics and Astronomy should inspect the smaller groups closely. The top weighted PIs are R. Vogt (28.6 weighted works; High-Energy Particle Collisions Research, Particle physics theoretical and experimental studies); James P. Crutchfield (26.5 weighted works; Neural dynamics and brain function, Neural Networks and Applications). The most visible ties are James P. Crutchfield and John B. Rundle (5 shared works, weight 4.1). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 18.7, around Condensed Matter Physics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, led by Warren E. Pickett, Kai Liu, X. D. Zhu; group 2 with 10 PIs, 16 internal connections, weight 6.8, around Astronomy and Astrophysics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, led by B. C. Lemaux, Maruša Bradač, M. James Jee.
