In the latest ranking by Stanford University and Elsevier 19 faculty members from the UWM College of Engineering & Applied Science fell into the top 2% of scientists in their field globally.
Pradeep Rohatgi, Distinguished Professor, materials science & engineering, leads the pack, according to the survey that ranks scholars in two categories: work over a career and work completed in 2023 alone. Rohatgi also was ranked No. 1 among the 77 UWM scholars on the list for lifelong contributions.
The top 2% scientist ranking just released is largely based on citations updated to the end of 2023 but includes other metrics which reflect a scientist’s influence rather than just their publication count. The list below includes active and retired faculty and scientists from the college.

ScholarGPS ranking
In separate ranking database, ScholarGPS, three CEAS faculty members are recognized as ‘highly ranked lifetime scholars’ as of 2023, the most recent year tabulated. ScholarGPS is an AI assistant in academic research and learning that also ranks scholars primarily in terms of their number of publications and citations.
The overall ranking within the ScholarGPS system is updated periodically. Updates are not necessarily done annually.
