Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for University of California, San Diego Department of Nanoengineering is a 41-PI network with 75 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Engineering as the leading field (37% of slots across 31 PIs; 31 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (19% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 labels), and Advancements in Battery Materials as the leading topic (4% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The leading PI names are Joseph Wang (64.7 weighted works; Micro and Nano Robotics, Advanced Sensor and Energy Harvesting Materials); Ying Shirley Meng (51.7 weighted works; Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies, Advancements in Battery Materials). The clearest collaboration lines are Jesse V. Jokerst and Jeanne E. Lemaster (14 shared works, weight 9.9); Nicole F. Steinmetz and Sourabh Shukla (16 shared works, weight 9.7). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 37.3, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, led by Ying Shirley Meng, Zheng Chen, Ping Liu; group 2 with 8 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 31, around Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, led by Joseph Wang, Liangfang Zhang, Nicole F. Steinmetz.
