Accepted Answer

Counting only their work in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Shi Xue Dou, Wei Huang and Arumugam Manthiram have the most papers in the world top 10% for their subfield and year beyond the 10% expected.

Question 4

Where is Electrical and Electronic Engineering research done?

Accepted Answer

The largest centres of Electrical and Electronic Engineering research in 2022-now are Beijing (China), Shanghai (China), Nanjing (China) and Xi'an (China). Among places with at least 20 works in it, it is an unusually large share of all research in Winchester, Bernin and Coppell.

Question 5

Where is the best place to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering?

Accepted Answer

Among universities, judged by research, Tsinghua University, City University of Hong Kong and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences score highest, combining standing in the field's ranking, excellence, specialisation, size, growth and international reach. Research strength is one signal when choosing where to study; it does not measure teaching.
