Report summary

University of Chicago Department of Physics in 2021-2023 reads as a 23-PI network with 11 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (47% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels), and Particle physics theoretical and experimental studies as the leading topic (9% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels). That is of concern for a 23-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Henning Bahl (13.2 weighted works; Particle physics theoretical and experimental studies, Black Holes and Theoretical Physics). The most visible ties are Carolyn Zhang and Michael Levin (3 shared works, weight 3). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 5 PIs, 5 internal connections, weight 4.5, around Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, led by Margaret L. Gardel, Vincenzo Vitelli, Arvind Murugan.
