Report summary

For University of Southern California Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2015-2026, the graph shows 58 visible PIs and 76 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Engineering as the leading field (25% of slots across 29 PIs; 29 labels), Electrical and Electronic Engineering as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), and Advanced Memory and Neural Computing as the leading topic (3% of slots across 6 PIs; 6 labels). That is a healthy pattern, with enough links to reveal several interpretable groups rather than one undifferentiated component. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Alan E. Willner (199.7 weighted works; Orbital Angular Momentum in Optics, Optical Network Technologies). The clearest collaboration lines are Alan E. Willner and Huibin Zhou (145 shared works, weight 89.2). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 9 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 40, around Computer Networks and Communications, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Information Systems, led by Viktor K. Prasanna, Ajitesh Srivastava, Bhaskar Krishnamachari.
