Report summary

The 2024-2026 picture for University of Florida Department of Physics is a 16-PI network with 2 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (43% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels), Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics as the leading subfield (16% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels), and Cosmology and Gravitation Theories as the leading topic (8% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). That is a thin collaboration pattern, useful for spotting individual pairs but less persuasive as a broad departmental network. The leading PI names are R. P. Woodard (6.5 weighted works; Cosmology and Gravitation Theories, Noncommutative and Quantum Gravity Theories). The clearest collaboration lines are R. P. Woodard and B. Yesilyurt (3 shared works, weight 2.1). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 2 PIs, 1 internal connections, weight 2.1, around Astronomy and Astrophysics, Statistical and Nonlinear Physics, Nuclear and High Energy Physics, led by R. P. Woodard, B. Yesilyurt.
