Eighteen researchers were included in a prestigious list that ranks the millions of working scientists around the globe.
Mizzou Engineering has a rich tradition of academic excellence. Our researchers constantly challenge themselves and one another to pioneer breakthroughs.
The results speak volumes. Eighteen Mizzou Engineering faculty members are on a new, prestigious list of the highest scientific achievers in the world.
The list, compiled by Stanford University, draws on various metrics and citations to systematically rank the millions of working scientists around the globe.
“The faculty of Mizzou Engineering are truly world-class,” said Prasad Calyam, interim associate dean for research. “Not only are they recognized internationally for their research, but they also provide our students with a reliable foundation for growth innovation and consistently deliver practical solutions to real-world issues facing communities everywhere.”
The Stanford ranking system is based upon scientific citation data going back to the year 1788. It encompasses standardized data on citations, h-index, and a wide range of bibliometric indicators. Researchers are classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields, drawing from Scopus data provided by Elsevier through ICSR Lab.
