Drexel's flagship College of Engineering continues to shine in national
roundups. In a database compiled by Stanford University, 20 tenure or
tenure-track faculty members, representing disciplines from across the
college, appear among the top 2% of the most-cited researchers in their
fields.
To create the publicly available database of top-cited researchers, a group
of scientists at Stanford developed a ranking method based on standardized
citation metrics that give a picture of an individual's impact in the
previous year. Scientists are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174
sub-fields.
In the list of career impact for 2023, Distinguished University and Charles
T. and Ruth M. Bach Professor
Yury Gogotsi, PhD
, maintains his outstanding position, ranked as the #176 researcher
world-wide in all fields, and #8 world-wide for researchers whose primary
discipline is listed as Nanoscience & Nanotechnology. His work in
Materials Science, specifically in the discovery, characterization,
research, and application of MXenes, continues to open up new areas of study
in materials.
Distinguished Professor
Michel Barsoum, PhD
, an internationally recognized leader in the study of MAX phases as well as
MXenes, ranked #524 in the 2023 worldwide list of all research disciplines,
and #7 worldwide for researchers whose primary discipline is listed as
Materials.
"These citations showcase the impact and relevance of the research conducted
in our college," said
Jin Wen, PhD
, Associate Dean for Research and Innovation. "They reflect how our work is
shaping fields across engineering and technology. Additionally, this
recognition contributes to Drexel's rising status in national rankings,
further affirming our position as a leading institution for engineering
research and education."
Other researchers from across the College of Engineering who have been
featured include:
Chemical & Biological Engineering
Civil, Architectural & Environmental Engineering
Electrical & Computer Engineering
Mechanical Engineering & Mechanics
Materials Science and Engineering
This impressive showing across multiple disciplines underscores the breadth
and depth of cutting-edge research being conducted in the College of
Engineering and reinforces its commitment to fostering an environment of
innovation and academic excellence, positioning Drexel at the forefront of
engineering research and education.
