Report summary

University of Michigan–ann Arbor Department of Aerospace Engineering in 2024-2026 reads as a 19-PI network with 9 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (41% of slots across 17 PIs; 17 labels), Aerospace Engineering as the leading subfield (12% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels), and Advanced Control Systems Optimization as the leading topic (4% of slots across 2 PIs; 2 labels). That is of concern for a 19-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Venkatasubramanian Viswanathan (12.5 weighted works; Advancements in Battery Materials, Advanced Battery Materials and Technologies). The most visible ties are Ilya Kolmanovsky and Anouck Girard (13 shared works, weight 6.7). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 5, around Control and Systems Engineering, Computational Mechanics, Aerospace Engineering, led by Krzysztof Fidkowski, Dennis S. Bernstein, Dimitra Panagou.
