Report summary

The 2018-2020 picture for University of Washington Department of Chemistry is a 66-PI network with 57 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Chemistry as the leading field (21% of slots across 27 PIs; 27 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (11% of slots across 17 PIs; 17 labels), and Advanced Chemical Physics Studies as the leading topic (4% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The top weighted PIs are Alex K.‐Y. Jen (41.8 weighted works; Perovskite Materials and Applications, Conducting polymers and applications); Xiaosong Li (33.8 weighted works; Spectroscopy and Quantum Chemical Studies, Advanced Chemical Physics Studies). The strongest pairings are Ashleigh B. Theberge and Erwin Berthier (12 shared works, weight 7). The standout breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 13 internal connections, weight 24.8, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Materials Chemistry, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, led by Alex K.‐Y. Jen, Xiaosong Li, Brandi M. Cossairt.
