The 2025 Highly Cited Researchers\u2122 list has once again recognised CDE faculty for their global research impact, naming 22 individuals from five CDE departments among the World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds.<\/p>\n

Compiled by data analytics firm\u00a0Clarivate<\/a>, the annual list uses quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify 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\u2122 citation index.<\/p>\n

According to Clarivate, Highly Cited Researchers contribute disproportionately to extending the frontiers of knowledge and innovations that make the world healthier, richer, more sustainable and more secure.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the latest listing, Professor Teo Kie Leong, Dean of CDE said, \u201cThe presence of many CDE faculty among the world\u2019s most highly-cited researchers\u00a0reflects\u00a0the College\u2019s enduring influence, rigorous scholarship and\u00a0 real-world impact. Their work not only pushes\u00a0the frontiers\u00a0of knowledge but also\u00a0reinforces CDE\u2019s mission as a\u00a0vibrant\u00a0research hub where collaboration across\u00a0disciplines transforms\u00a0bold ideas into\u00a0innovations with global reach.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CDE faculty members named in the 2025 list represent five departments across the College: Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Industrial Systems Engineering and Management, Materials Science and Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.<\/p>\n

Professor Liu Bin, NUS Deputy President (Research and Technology), said, \u201cWe are extremely proud of our brilliant researchers whose work is making a global impact, advancing knowledge in their fields, and driving new frontiers in science and innovation. Their achievements demonstrate the strength of NUS\u2019 research and its role in inspiring positive change globally.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the 2025 list, worldwide a total of 6,868 researchers from 61 countries and regions have been named Highly Cited Researchers.<\/p>\n

David Pendlebury, Head of Research Analysis at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate, said, \u201cThe Highly Cited Researchers list identifies and celebrates exceptional individual researchers at NUS who demonstrate significant and broad influence in their fields. They exemplify excellence in their research as well as integrity in their publication and citation practices. These researchers continue to shape the future of science, technology and academia globally and deliver innovation that drives societal progress.\u201d<\/p>\n
