Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for University of Minnesota Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science is a 49-PI network with 96 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Materials Science as the leading field (29% of slots across 30 PIs; 30 labels), Materials Chemistry as the leading subfield (17% of slots across 22 PIs; 22 labels), and Block Copolymer Self-Assembly as the leading topic (5% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). That is a nice sign for applicants and collaborators, because the network has both density and separable local groups. The leading PI names are Jian‐Ping Wang (41.5 weighted works; Magnetic properties of thin films, Characterization and Applications of Magnetic Nanoparticles). The clearest collaboration lines are Timothy P. Lodge and Frank S. Bates (31 shared works, weight 15.3). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 7 internal connections, weight 34, around Biomedical Engineering, Materials Chemistry, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, led by Marc A. Hillmyer, Timothy P. Lodge, C. Daniel Frisbie; group 2 with 6 PIs, 5 internal connections, weight 18.1, around Biomedical Engineering, Materials Chemistry, Spectroscopy, led by Jian‐Ping Wang, Michael Tsapatsis, Paul J. Dauenhauer.
