Report summary

University of Miami Department of Biomedical Engineering in 2021-2023 reads as a 34-PI network with 26 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Medicine as the leading field (47% of slots across 28 PIs; 28 labels), Surgery as the leading subfield (9% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), and Ocular Surface and Contact Lens as the leading topic (5% of slots across 5 PIs; 5 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Adrien A. Eshraghi (18 weighted works; Hearing Loss and Rehabilitation, Hearing, Cochlea, Tinnitus, Genetics); Roberto I. Vázquez-Padrón (13.8 weighted works; Central Venous Catheters and Hemodialysis, Aortic aneurysm repair treatments). The strongest pairings are Fabrice Manns and Marco Ruggeri (18 shared works, weight 9.4). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 22.7, around Surgery, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, led by Daniel Pelaez, Fabrice Manns, Marco Ruggeri; group 2 with 7 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 15.3, around Sensory Systems, Cognitive Neuroscience, Radiation, led by Adrien A. Eshraghi, Hillary Snapp, Nesrin Dogan.
