Report summary

The 2021-2023 picture for University of Michigan–ann Arbor Department of Aerospace Engineering is a 22-PI network with 10 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Engineering as the leading field (43% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), Computational Mechanics as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels), and Computational Fluid Dynamics and Aerodynamics as the leading topic (6% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 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 Anthony M. Waas (23.7 weighted works; Mechanical Behavior of Composites, Structural Response to Dynamic Loads); Arunabha M. Roy (21.4 weighted works; nanoparticles nucleation surface interactions, Solidification and crystal growth phenomena). The clearest collaboration lines are Carlos E. S. Cesnik and Ilya Kolmanovsky (14 shared works, weight 5.9). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 7 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 18, around Computational Mechanics, Aerospace Engineering, Statistical and Nonlinear Physics, led by Ilya Kolmanovsky, Krzysztof Fidkowski, Joaquim R. R. A. Martins.
