Report summary

University of California, San Diego Department of Nanoengineering in 2015-2017 reads as a 40-PI network with 55 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (37% of slots across 30 PIs; 30 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 17 PIs; 17 labels), and Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques as the leading topic (3% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 15 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Joseph Wang (63.7 weighted works; Micro and Nano Robotics, Advanced Sensor and Energy Harvesting Materials). The strongest pairings are Clark C. Chen and Bob S. Carter (34 shared works, weight 16.9). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 40.9, around Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Condensed Matter Physics, led by Joseph Wang, Liangfang Zhang, Victor Nizet.
