Report summary

The 2015-2026 picture for University of Colorado Boulder Department of Mechanical Engineering is a 86-PI network with 156 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (33% of slots across 58 PIs; 58 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (11% of slots across 25 PIs; 25 labels), and Air Quality and Health Impacts as the leading topic (3% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 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 Franck J. Vernerey (52.2 weighted works; Cellular Mechanics and Interactions, Advanced Materials and Mechanics). The strongest pairings are Juliet T. Gopinath and Victor M. Bright (46 shared works, weight 21.3). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 64.1, around Materials Chemistry, Civil and Structural Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, led by Ronggui Yang, Massimo Ruzzene, Baowen Li; group 2 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 24, around Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, Atmospheric Science, Global and Planetary Change, led by Shelly L. Miller, Daven K. Henze, Marina E. Vance.
