Report summary

University of Michigan–ann Arbor Department of Chemical Engineering in 2024-2026 reads as a 27-PI network with 25 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (20% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (14% of slots across 10 PIs; 10 labels), and Gold and Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis and Applications as the leading topic (4% 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 Nicholas A. Kotov (16.4 weighted works; Gold and Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis and Applications, Metamaterials and Metasurfaces Applications). The most visible ties are Nirala Singh and Bryan R. Goldsmith (6 shared works, weight 2.4); Greg M. Thurber and Peter M. Tessier (4 shared works, weight 2.2). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 5.5, around Materials Chemistry, Condensed Matter Physics, Molecular Biology, led by Nicholas A. Kotov, Joerg Lahann, Ashwin J. Shahani; group 2 with 9 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 9, around Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Chemistry, led by Jovan Kamcev, Suljo Linic, Nirala Singh.
