Report summary

University of Washington Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2021-2023 reads as a 49-PI network with 36 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Engineering as the leading field (34% of slots across 32 PIs; 32 labels), Biomedical Engineering as the leading subfield (15% of slots across 19 PIs; 19 labels), and Advanced Sensor and Energy Harvesting Materials as the leading topic (5% of slots across 7 PIs; 7 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The leading PI names are Jonathan Liu (18 weighted works; Advanced Fluorescence Microscopy Techniques, AI in cancer detection); Igor Novosselov (16.6 weighted works; Atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances research). The most visible ties are Jonathan Liu and Adam K. Glaser (23 shared works, weight 12.7). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 8 PIs, 8 internal connections, weight 30.6, around Biophysics, Biomedical Engineering, Atomic and Molecular Physics, and Optics, led by Jonathan Liu, Igor Novosselov, Steven L. Brunton.
