Six faculty members from NUS Electrical and Computer Engineering have been recognised in the 2021 Highly Cited Researchers™ list and among the World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds.
The annual list – compiled by Clarivate – identifies researchers who demonstrate significant impact and influence in their chosen field by publishing several highly cited papers during the last decade.
The names are drawn from the publications that rank in the top one per cent by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science™ citation index.
The 2021 list comprises 6,602 researchers from more than 70 countries and regions.
According to Clarivate, highly cited researchers contribute disproportionately to extending the frontiers of knowledge and gaining for society innovations that make the world healthier, richer, more sustainable, and more secure.
NUS Deputy President (Research and Technology) Professor Chen Tsuhan said, “NUS is incredibly proud of our highly regarded researchers who have been pushing the frontiers of their respective fields, and in turn, benefitting the community by creating new knowledge and solving real-world problems. Their outstanding work advances NUS’ standing as one of the world’s leading universities, and strengthens Singapore’s reputation as a world-class research hub.”
David Pendlebury, a Senior Citation Analyst at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate, said: “It is increasingly important for nations and institutions to recognise and support the exceptional researchers who are driving the expansion of the world’s knowledge. This list identifies and celebrates exceptional individual researchers at NUS who are having a significant impact on the research community as evidenced by the rate at which their work is being cited by their peers.
“The research they have contributed is fueling the innovation, sustainability, health and security that is key for our society’s future,” he added.
