29% of SUTD Faculty Within Top 2% Scientists Globally

DATE

01 Nov 2022

Almost a third of SUTD faculty have made it to the list of top 2% of scientists around the world according to the database by Stanford University and Elsevier BV in September 2022. With 6 additional faculty members joining the list, it has bumped up the percentage of SUTD faculty to 29% from the previous year of 24%. Their research fields include applied physics, artificial intelligence & image processing, and networking & telecommunications.

Since 2019, Stanford University and Elsevier BV have created a database of top-cited scientists for the purpose of providing standardised information on citations (including h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, citations to papers in different authorship positions and a composite indicator). The database lists the world’s top 2% of scientists across 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields.
