Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for University of California, Irvine Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is a 51-PI network with 51 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (32% of slots across 31 PIs; 31 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (12% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Photonic and Optical Devices as the leading topic (3% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The top weighted PIs are Andrei M. Shkel (89 weighted works; Acoustic Wave Resonator Technologies, Advanced MEMS and NEMS Technologies). The strongest pairings are Nikil Dutt and Amir M. Rahmani (94 shared works, weight 41.4). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 82.9, around Cognitive Neuroscience, Computer Networks and Communications, Hardware and Architecture, led by Amir M. Rahmani, Nikil Dutt, Hung Cao.
