Materials science researchers achieve top rankings
Uppsala University’s Vice-Chancellor Anders Hagfeldt is one of the world’s most highly cited researchers.
Four of Uppsala University’s materials science researchers are among the most prominent in Sweden within the field, according to Research.com’s recently published ranking list. Top of the list is Vice-Chancellor Anders Hagfeldt, whose solar cell research has also led to him being ranked 85th internationally.
This is the second time that Research.com has compiled a list of the leading national and international materials science researchers. The ranking is based on factors such as how often the researchers’ work is cited by other researchers. In addition to Hagfeldt, who has been cited no fewer than 103,499 times, the ranking also includes Claes-Göran Granqvist, Professor of Solid State Physics at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. He is the fifth highest ranked researcher within the field in Sweden, and the 595th internationally.
In seventh place in the Swedish top ten, and in position 745 internationally, is Professor of Physical Chemistry Gerrit Boschloo.
Ninth place in the Swedish list and 750th place internationally went to Professor of Physics Rajeev Ahuja, who specialises in theoretical materials studies at the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
