SFT is proud to announce that 14 faculty members have been listed on the World’s Top 2% most-cited scientists, according to the latest two rankings compiled by Stanford University. Notably, 13 scholars were included based on their career-long citation impact. Together with the scholars named for their single-year citation impact, a total of 14 scholars were recognised. These rankings attest to our research excellence and outstanding academia.
The colleagues who are listed among the Top 2% include Profs. Fan Jintu, Fei Bin, Hu Hong, Kinor Jiang, Kan Chi-wai, Tao Xiaoming, Wang Xungai, Christina Wong, Calvin Wong, John Xin, Xu Bingang, Joanne Yip; and Drs Esfandiar Pakdel and Shou Dahua.
Over 100,000 top scientists globally were grouped into 22 subject fields and 174 sub-fields. The lists were based on indicators including citations, scientific research output and a composite indicator for citation impact, up to the end of 2023. The two lists were compiled based on scholars’ career-long (1960-2023) and single-year (2023) impact, recognising their lifetime achievement and recent research impact respectively.The two tables below list the rankings of the SFT scholars in terms of ‘Career-long data’ and ‘Single Year data’.
Our heartiest congratulations to our colleagues on their excellent achievement!
