Report summary

University of Maryland, College Park Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2024-2026 reads as a 31-PI network with 11 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (43% of slots across 28 PIs; 28 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels), and Heat Transfer and Boiling Studies as the leading topic (2% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels). That is of concern for a 31-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Siddhartha Das (19.3 weighted works; Micro and Nano Robotics, Nanopore and Nanochannel Transport Studies). The most visible ties are Jin‐Oh Hahn and Hosam K. Fathy (3 shared works, weight 1.2). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 5 PIs, 4 internal connections, weight 3, around Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine, led by Jin‐Oh Hahn, Hosam K. Fathy, Balakumar Balachandran.
