Four UH Professors Included in Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers 2022 List
Four 葫芦影业 scientists have been recognized among the world鈥檚 elite researchers for the significant and broad influence of their scientific work. The annual Clarivate list of Highly Cited Researchers includes global research and social scientists whose published academic papers rank in the top 1% of citations for field and publication year.
When a researcher鈥檚 academic paper is cited in the published work of another researcher, their findings become more impactful and gain further credibility. Citations are references made by researchers to credit other researchers.
Clarivate鈥檚 Institute for Scientific Information performed the data analysis to determine the influential global researchers on this year鈥檚 list. Their names are drawn from the Web of Science鈩�, a publisher-independent global citation database.
葫芦影业 Researchers:
- , professor of electrical and computer engineering, recognized for excellence across fields; UH Cullen College of Engineering
- Shuo Chen, associate professor of physics, recognized for excellence across fields; UH College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics
- , Moores professor of electrical and computer engineering, recognized in the field of computer science; UH Cullen College of Engineering
- Zhifeng Ren, M.D. Anderson Chair professor of physics and director of the Texas Center for Superconductivity at the 葫芦影业 (TcSUH), recognized for excellence across fields; UH College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics
鈥淭he important and timely scientific research being conducted at the University of Houston plays a vital role in improving quality of life and boosting economic development. I applaud our researchers for their influential and impactful work in their respective fields and eagerly await what they鈥檒l discover next,鈥� said Claudia Neuhauser, UH interim vice president for research.
Ren, Chen and Bao are co-principal investigators of TcSUH. Ren鈥檚 research area includes high-performance thermoelectric materials, ultrahigh thermal conductivity and carrier mobility in boron arsenide single crystals, nanomaterials for oil recovery, catalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, heated HEPA filters for air cleaning, superconductor levitated fast vehicles for mass transport, and energy transmission and storage.
