Engineering Faculty Ranked Among World’s Best by Stanford University

April 26, 2021

BATON ROUGE, LA – In a study conducted by Stanford University scholars and published in PLOS Biology Journal, 20 LSU College of Engineering faculty were listed as some of the world’s leading academics in their respective fields.

To evaluate scholars’ academic performance, the authors used a total of six citation-related criteria, which were combined to determine a single measure, the “composite citation index.” Overall, 159,684 of the top scholars—representing the top 2 percent globally—from the natural sciences and medicine; as well as social sciences such as psychology, education, and economics; were ranked. All ratings reflect the scholars’ career-long citation impact; only citations in refereed journals are considered.

The ranked faculty were:

  • Professor Steve C.S. Cai, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering
  • Professor Leszek Czarnecki, Division of Electrical & Computer Engineering
  • Professor Marcio de Queiroz, Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering
  • Professor Guoxiang Gu, Division of Electrical & Computer Engineering
  • Professor Michael Khonsari, Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering
