Report summary

The 2024-2026 picture for University of California, Los Angeles Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is a 29-PI network with 3 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (36% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), Electrical and Electronic Engineering as the leading subfield (21% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Photonic and Optical Devices as the leading topic (5% 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 Aydogan Özcan (27.6 weighted works; Neural Networks and Reservoir Computing, Advanced Optical Imaging Technologies). The strongest pairings are Aydogan Özcan and Mona Jarrahi (30 shared works, weight 16.1). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 3 PIs, 2 internal connections, weight 1.8, around Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Hardware and Architecture, led by Chee Wei Wong, Puneet Gupta, Baolai Liang.
