Two College of Engineering professors, Yury Gogotsi, Ph.D., Distinguished University and Trustee Chair Professor of the Materials Science and Engineering department, and Peter DeCarlo, Ph.D., Assistant Professor and Graduate Studies Advisor of the Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering department, were selected as “Highly Cited Researchers 2016” by Clarivate Analytics, formerly the IP & Science Business of Thomson Reuters. Both professors have been selected as Highly Cited Researchers for three consecutive years.
According to the official website, “Highly Cited Researchers from the Intellectual Property (IP) and Science business of Thomson Reuters is an annual list recognizing leading researchers in the sciences and social sciences from around the world. The 2016 list focuses on contemporary research achievement: only Highly Cited Papers in science and social sciences journals indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection during the 11-year period 2004-2014 were surveyed. Highly Cited Papers are defined as those that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science.”
Yury Gogotsi served as an Associate Dean of the College of Engineering from 2003 to 2007. Gogotsi holds a courtesy appointment in the Mechanical Engineering and Mechanics department at Drexel University, and serves as Director of the A.J. Drexel Nanomaterials Institute. His research has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Nano Energy Award, RUSNANOPRIZE 2015, Doctor Honoris Causa of Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse, France, the Fred Kavli Distinguished Lectureship in Nanoscience, a European Carbon Association Award, Chang Jiang Scholar Award from the Chinese Ministry of Education, S. Somiya Award from the International Union of Materials Research Societies, G.C. Kuczynski Prize from the International Institute for the Science of Sintering, R.C. Purdy Award and several R.B. Snow Awards from the American Ceramic Society, NANOSMAT Prize, I.N. Frantsevich Prize from the Ukrainian Academy of Science, two R&D 100 Awards from R&D Magazine and two Nano 50TM Awards from NASA Nanotech Briefs. He is Fellow of AAAS, ACerS, ECS, MRS, Royal Society of Chemistry, and Academician of the World Academy of Ceramics.
Peter DeCarlo started as an Assistant Professor at Drexel University in the fall of 2011, following his Ph.D. work at the University of Colorado, a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, and an AAAS Science Policy Fellowship in Washington DC. DeCarlo’s area of research focuses on the measurement of particles and gases in the atmosphere and their impacts air quality and climate issues. Some of his honors and awards include receiving an AAAS Science Policy Fellowship from 2010 to 2011, a Sheldon K. Friedlander Award for Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation from American Association for Aerosol Research in 2009, and obtaining an NSF International Research Postdoctoral Fellowship from 2008 to 2010.
