Report summary

The 2015-2017 picture for University of Washington Department of Chemical Engineering is a 27-PI network with 17 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Engineering as the leading field (24% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (10% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels), and Nanoparticle-Based Drug Delivery as the leading topic (4% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The top weighted PIs are Charles T. Campbell (13.8 weighted works; Catalytic Processes in Materials Science, Electrocatalysts for Energy Conversion). The strongest pairings are Venkat R. Subramanian and Daniel T. Schwartz (7 shared works, weight 3.4). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 11 internal connections, weight 14.2, around Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, led by Shaoyi Jiang, Jim Pfaendtner, Qiuming Yu.
