Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for University of California, San Diego Department of Nanoengineering is a 89-PI network with 247 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (31% of slots across 58 PIs; 58 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (15% of slots across 33 PIs; 33 labels), and Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques as the leading topic (4% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 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 Joseph Wang (200 weighted works; Micro and Nano Robotics, Advanced Sensor and Energy Harvesting Materials). The strongest pairings are Ying Shirley Meng and Minghao Zhang (93 shared works, weight 48.5). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 114.9, around Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Condensed Matter Physics, led by Joseph Wang, Liangfang Zhang, Patrick P. Mercier; group 2 with 10 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 146.3, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Chemistry, Automotive Engineering, led by Ying Shirley Meng, Zheng Chen, Ping Liu.
