NTU MSE Faculty Members Ranked World's Top 2% Scientists 2024
We are proud to share that 26 of our full-time and cross-appointment faculty members at NTU School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) have been recognised as the World’s Top 2% Scientists in 2024. This ranking, which focuses on single-year
and career-long scientific impact, was curated by Stanford University using Scopus data provided by Elsevier through the ICSR lab. Career-long data are updated to the end of 2023, and single recent-year data pertain to citations received during calendar
year 2023.
The report, released on 16 September 2024, was prepared by Professor John P. A. Ioannidis from Stanford University. The ranking is based on standardised citation metrics, including h-index, co-authorship adjusted hm-index, and a composite indicator (C-score)
that emphasises impact (i.e. citations) over productivity (i.e. number of publications). The list classifies scientists into 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields according to the standard Science-Metrix classification, recognising only those in
the top 100,000 (percentile rank of 2% or above) scientists in their sub-fields.

Our exceptional faculty underpin MSE's commitment to excellence in various areas of materials science, such as quantum materials, AI for accelerated materials discovery, environmental sustainability, clean energy materials, and biomaterials for healthcare. Our strategic research efforts are aligned with Singapore’s Research, Innovation, and Enterprise (RIE) 2025 Plan and the NTU 2025 Strategic Plan, focusing on sustainable solutions to address global challenges.
Below are the names of our MSE faculty members who have achieved this recognition in single-year and career-long Top 2% lists.
