Report summary

The 2024-2026 picture for University of Washington Department of Chemistry is a 47-PI network with 27 internal PI collaborations. The main research signal is Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology as the leading field (18% of slots across 18 PIs; 18 labels), Molecular Biology as the leading subfield (13% of slots across 15 PIs; 15 labels), and Advanced Chemical Physics Studies as the leading topic (3% of slots across 4 PIs; 4 labels). This is a solid, readable collaboration map: group-level fit matters more than a single department-wide label. The leading PI names are Arka Majumdar (32.9 weighted works; Photonic and Optical Devices, Neural Networks and Reservoir Computing). The clearest collaboration lines are David S. Ginger and Rajiv Giridharagopal (11 shared works, weight 4.3); Xiaosong Li and Can Liao (7 shared works, weight 3.9). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 10 internal connections, weight 17.4, around Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, Materials Chemistry, led by Arka Majumdar, David S. Ginger, Brandi M. Cossairt.
