Report summary

For University of Illinois Chicago Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering in 2015-2017, the graph shows 20 visible PIs and 9 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (51% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), Electrical and Electronic Engineering as the leading subfield (18% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 labels), and Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies as the leading topic (5% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). That looks relatively sparse, so claims about department-wide cohesion should be made carefully. The top weighted PIs are Ahmed A. Shabana (23.1 weighted works; Dynamics and Control of Mechanical Systems, Railway Engineering and Dynamics); Alexander L. Yarin (22.6 weighted works; Electrospun Nanofibers in Biomedical Applications, Advanced Sensor and Energy Harvesting Materials). The most visible ties are Reza Shahbazian‐Yassar and Farzad Mashayek (16 shared works, weight 8.8). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 11.7, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, led by Alexander L. Yarin, Reza Shahbazian‐Yassar, Amin Salehi‐Khojin; group 2 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 3.3, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Condensed Matter Physics, led by Yayue Pan, Jie Xu, Lin Li.
