Report summary

University of Pittsburgh Department of Chemistry in 2024-2026 reads as a 33-PI network with 8 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Chemistry as the leading field (29% of slots across 20 PIs; 20 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (15% of slots across 12 PIs; 12 labels), and Advanced Polymer Synthesis and Characterization as the leading topic (3% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). That is of concern for a 33-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Alexander Deiters (10.1 weighted works; Advanced biosensing and bioanalysis techniques, Click Chemistry and Applications); David H. Waldeck (9.2 weighted works; Electrocatalysts for Energy Conversion, CO2 Reduction Techniques and Catalysts). The most visible ties are Alexander Deiters and Paul E. Floreancig (3 shared works, weight 1.6). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 4 PIs, 3 internal connections, weight 1.7, around Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, Molecular Biology, Materials Chemistry, led by Sunil Saxena, Xin Gui, W. Seth Childers.
