A Kent State University professor in the College of Arts and Sciences is once again on Clarivate's list of Highly Cited Researchers in the world.
Mietek Jaroniec, Ph.D., professor in Kent State’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and a member of the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute, is again ranked in the top one percent of chemists and materials scientists, based on citations in Clarivate’s Web of Science database. His area of research expertise is in adsorption, chemical separations, and chemistry of nanomaterials, which he describes as an "exciting and important research field, especially design and synthesis of well-defined nanostructures with tailored porosity, surface properties and morphology for energy-related and environmental applications."
As early as 2001, he was listed among the world’s top 100 materials scientists. He was listed on the Clarivate report in 2015 and 2016 for citations in chemistry, and each year since 2017 for both chemistry and materials science.
Overall, Jaroniec’s 1,042 papers have been cited more than 89,460 times and he has an h-index of 130. An h-index is a metric frequently used within the scientific field to determine the productivity and impact of someone’s work based on their various publications over a certain period of time.
