Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for University of Maryland, College Park Department of Physics is a 42-PI network with 16 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Physics and Astronomy as the leading field (49% of slots across 33 PIs; 33 labels), Nuclear and High Energy Physics as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 15 PIs; 15 labels), and Particle physics theoretical and experimental studies as the leading topic (7% of slots across 9 PIs; 9 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 S. Das Sarma (14.5 weighted works; Advances in Oncology and Radiotherapy, Computational Physics and Python Applications). The clearest collaboration lines are S. Das Sarma and DinhDuy Vu (12 shared works, weight 10.2). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 6 internal connections, weight 10.2, around Nuclear and High Energy Physics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, led by Xiangdong Ji, Rui Zhang, Yushan Su.
