The end of the fall semester and the beginning of the spring bring many of the same events and occurrences from year to year.<\/p>\n
One of these is the annual release of the listing of the world\u2019s most cited researchers, which celebrates the top 1 percent of researchers across a number of fields.<\/p>\n
Just as traditional is the list\u2019s inclusion of Jerry and Kay Henry Endowed Professor David Mandrus.<\/p>\n
Mandrus once again made the list in 2020, the only researcher from UT\u2019s Tickle College of Engineering and one of just five from across all colleges at UT to be included.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is perhaps no greater validation of a scientist\u2019s work than to be cited by peers in their own research, as it shows the quality and importance of those efforts and the outside respect given to their studies,\u201d said Chancellor\u2019s Professor and MSE Department Head Veerle Keppens. \u201cDr. Mandrus has every reason to be proud of this recognition, and we are happy for him at this well-earned sign of respect.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mandrus\u2019s work involves the discovery, creation, and exploration of the physics within materials, with a particular expertise on electronic and magnetic properties. He leads the Mandrus Research Group, which works with and explores quantum materials and their properties, often with colleagues from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he holds a joint appointment.<\/p>\n
A fellow of the American Physical Society, Mandrus also serves on the Condensed Matter and Materials Research Committee for the National Research Council.<\/p>\n
Clarivate annually publishes the most cited list, which is compiled based on the number of citations from publications that rank in the top 1 percent of the Web of Science index.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
