More than five dozen UWM scientists have been recognized as being among the top 2% of researchers in the world in 2024, according to a new ranking.
“Our faculty are leaders in their fields, and this report highlights the global influence UWM researchers have on the creation of new knowledge,” UWM Chancellor Thomas Gibson said. “Across disciplines, our scholars are advancing discoveries, shaping the future of research, and improving lives through their findings. I am extremely proud of the work they do every day.”
The Stanford-Elsevier list ranks researchers by how often their work is cited in other scientific publications, giving a gauge of their impact on their respective fields. The rankings are drawn from a massive database of the world’s top researchers.
In addition to the 2024 ranking, Stanford-Elsevier also ranks scientists on their impact over the course of their careers. On that list, 84 UWM researchers ranked among the top 2%.
Here are the current and former UWM researchers included in each list:
