MSE Professors Among Top 300 Most-Cited Scholars in the Field
By Amanda Campanaro
MSE Professors Dr. Cato T. Laurencin and Dr. Steven L. Suib are among the 300 most-cited researchers in Materials Science and Engineering worldwide.
In the review, which was conducted using citation data from the Elsevier Scopus Database, MSE Supplies compiled the ranking data and listed the names and institutions of the highly cited scholars. “The highly cited researchers or scholars are either the corresponding author or the first author of their publications,” the review says. “Among all the researchers, only the top 300 in the field of materials science and engineering (MSE) are included in the list, ranked by the total citations of their papers.”

Dr. Steven L. Suib is the Director of the Institute of Materials Science and Chair for the Applied Chemical Technology Subdivision (ACTS) of the American Chemical Society (ACS). His recent publications include “Substrate Control of Anisotropic Resistivity in Heteroepitaxial Nanostructured Arrays of Cryptomelane Manganese Oxide on Strontium Titanate,” in conjunction with UConn MSE’s Mark Aindow, and “Formation of Platinum (Pt) Nanocluster Coatings on K-OMS-2 Manganese Oxide Membranes by Reactive Spray Deposition Technique (RSDT) for Extended Stability during CO Oxidation,” published in Advances in Chemical Engineering and Science, 2014.
