Report summary

University of California, Los Angeles Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 2015-2017 reads as a 28-PI network with 19 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (42% of slots across 24 PIs; 24 labels), Electrical and Electronic Engineering as the leading subfield (20% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Supercapacitor Materials and Fabrication as the leading topic (6% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 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 Xiangfeng Duan (29.7 weighted works; Perovskite Materials and Applications, Quantum Dots Synthesis And Properties). The most visible ties are Xiangfeng Duan and Yu Huang (46 shared works, weight 24.9). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 38.9, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, Materials Chemistry, led by Xiangfeng Duan, Richard B. Kaner, Yang Yang; group 2 with 6 PIs, 5 internal connections, weight 2.8, around Materials Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanics of Materials, led by Xiaochun Li, Jaime Marian, Nasr M. Ghoniem.
