Report summary

University of Michigan–ann Arbor Department of Chemical Engineering in 2015-2017 reads as a 31-PI network with 17 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (29% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels), and Catalytic Processes in Materials Science as the leading topic (3% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 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 leading PI names are Ronald G. Larson (18.1 weighted works; Rheology and Fluid Dynamics Studies, Material Dynamics and Properties); Nicholas A. Kotov (17.9 weighted works; Electrospun Nanofibers in Biomedical Applications, Metamaterials and Metasurfaces Applications). The most visible ties are Ronald G. Larson and Michael J. Solomon (9 shared works, weight 4.5); Sharon C. Glotzer and Julia Dshemuchadse (6 shared works, weight 4.2). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 18.4, around Materials Chemistry, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, led by Ronald G. Larson, Nicholas A. Kotov, Joerg Lahann.
