Drexel Materials faculty members Michel Barsoum and Yury Gogotsi have been named on the Highly Cited Researchers 2021 list from Clarivate.
Michel Barsoum
The highly anticipated annual list identifies researchers who demonstrated significant influence in their chosen field or fields through the publication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade. Their names are drawn from the publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science™ citation index.
Distinguished Professor Michel Barsoum was named a 2021 Highly Cited Researcher in the Materials Science category. This is Barsoum’s fifth time appearing on the list.
Yury Gogotsi
Distinguished University and Charles T. and Ruth M. Bach Professor Yury Gogotsi was named a 2021 Highly Cited Researcher in the categories of both Chemistry and Materials Science. This is the eighth year Gogotsi has appeared on the list.
A number of recent PhD alums and former postdoctoral researchers from their groups are also on the 2021 list, including Babak Anasori (‘14), assistant professor at Indiana University-Purdue University, Maria Lukatskaya (‘15), assistant professor at ETH Zurich, and Michael Naguib (‘14), assistant professor at Tulane University. Their inclusion is a testament to the innovative and impactful research carried out by numerous cohorts of Drexel Materials students and postdocs mentored by Barsoum and Gogotsi.
The methodology that determines the “who’s who” of influential researchers draws on the data and analysis performed by bibliometric experts and data scientists at the Institute for Scientific Information™ at Clarivate. It also uses the tallies to identify the countries and research institutions where these citation elite are based.
