Report summary

University of Massachusetts Amherst Department of Chemical Engineering in 2015-2026 reads as a 44-PI network with 62 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (31% of slots across 29 PIs; 29 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 labels), and Zeolite Catalysis and Synthesis as the leading topic (4% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). That is promising: collaboration is not just one large hairball, and the leading breakdown groups cover 25 PIs across distinct clusters. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Todd Emrick (66.6 weighted works; Perovskite Materials and Applications, Polymer Surface Interaction Studies). The strongest pairings are Michael A. Henson and Poonam Phalak (12 shared works, weight 9.8). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 13 internal connections, weight 43.4, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Surfaces, Coatings and Films, led by Todd Emrick, Jessica D. Schiffman, Ryan C. Hayward; group 2 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 19.8, around Materials Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, led by Nianqiang Wu, Wei Fan, Friederike C. Jentoft.
