Clarivate released today its list of 2025 Highly Cited Researchers, including nine faculty members affiliated with the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering. Since 2002, the international data and analytics company has released an annual list of researchers who have demonstrated compelling and broad influence in their fields of study. The 2025 list includes more than 6,800 researchers representing just one one-thousandth of the global research community. International analytics firm Clarivate compiles the list through its Web of Science platform that provides reference and citation data from academic journals, conference proceedings and other documents. Each selected researcher has published multiple papers that ranked in the top 1% by peer citations during the previous decade. With some researchers making the list in multiple categories, 7,131 highly cited researcher awards were given this year.
The following UCLA Samueli-affiliated faculty members are included in this year’s list:
Nasim Annabi, associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering
Bruce Dunn, distinguished professor of materials science and engineering, bioengineering and holder of the Nippon Sheet Glass Company Chair in Materials Science
Yu Huang, professor of materials science and engineering and holder of the Traugott and Dorothea Frederking Endowed Chair
Richard Kaner, distinguished professor of chemistry and biochemistry, materials science and engineering and holder of the Dr. Myung Ki Hong Endowed Chair in Materials Innovation
Yuzhang Li, associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering
Aydogan Ozcan, professor of electrical and computer engineering, bioengineering and holder of the Volgenau Chair for Engineering Innovation
Yair Rivenson, assistant adjunct professor of electrical and computer engineering
Marc Suchard, professor of human genetics, biostatistics and computational medicine
Kang Wang, distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering, materials science and engineering and holder of the Raytheon Company Chair in Electrical Engineering
* Huang made the 2025 list in two categories, materials science and cross-field.
* The UCLA Computational Medicine Department is affiliated with both the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and UCLA Samueli.
