Report summary

For University of Utah Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2015-2026, the graph shows 76 visible PIs and 127 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Engineering as the leading field (43% of slots across 60 PIs; 60 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (15% of slots across 28 PIs; 28 labels), and Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing Technologies as the leading topic (4% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 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 Kody M. Powell (68.4 weighted works; Smart Grid Energy Management, Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic Systems). The clearest collaboration lines are Shad Roundy and Binh Duc Truong (14 shared works, weight 10.8); Eric R. Pardyjak and Rob Stoll (23 shared works, weight 10.4). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 34.8, around Biomedical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Control and Systems Engineering, led by Amy L. Lenz, Kam K. Leang, Andrew Merryweather; group 2 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 51.1, around Aerospace Engineering, Atmospheric Science, Environmental Engineering, led by Eric R. Pardyjak, Marc Calaf, Sebastian W. Hoch.
