The study, published in PLOS Biology Journal, identifies the top scholars in their fields by considering how often their work has been cited over the course of their careers.
Below are the faculty who are among the top 2 percent most-cited within their specialty areas throughout the entirety of their career:

Raj Banerjee, Regents Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
Witold Brostow, Emeritus Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
Wonbong Choi, Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
Narendra Dahotre, Regents Professor and Associate VP of Research and Innovation, Materials Science and Engineering
Francis D’Souza, University Distinguished Research Professor, College of Science and College of Engineering joint appointment
Jincheng Du, Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
Song Fu, Associate Professor, Computer Science and Engineering
Hanchen Huang, Professor and College of Engineering Dean, Mechanical Engineering
Xinrong Li, Associate Professor, Electrical Engineering
Rajiv Mishra, University Distinguished Research Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
Saraju Mohanty, Professor, Computer Science and Engineering
Vish Prasad, Professor, Mechanical Engineering
Robert Renka, Emeritus Professor, Computer Science and Engineering
Andrey Voevodin, Professor and Associate Dean for Research, Materials Science and Engineering
