Report summary

For University of California, Los Angeles Department of Physics and Astronomy in 2015-2017, the graph shows 56 visible PIs and 13 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (55% of slots across 46 PIs; 46 labels), Nuclear and High Energy Physics as the leading subfield (24% of slots across 27 PIs; 27 labels), and Particle physics theoretical and experimental studies as the leading topic (7% of slots across 11 PIs; 11 labels). That looks relatively sparse, so claims about department-wide cohesion should be made carefully. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Zvi Bern (10.1 weighted works; Cosmology and Gravitation Theories, Noncommutative and Quantum Gravity Theories); G. Grüner (10 weighted works; Academic Writing and Publishing, Advanced Sensor and Energy Harvesting Materials). The clearest collaboration lines are Alexander Kusenko and Eric Cotner (3 shared works, weight 3). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 7.3, around Astronomy and Astrophysics, led by M. Jura, B. Zuckerman, B. Klein.
