Dr. Frank Lewis, Moncrief-O’Donnell Endowed Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering and Fellow, National Academy of Inventors, has been recognized as the #1 highly ranked scholar in the world in the two fields of Optimal Control and Reinforcement Learning by ScholarGPS.
ScholarGPS™ is the premier, fully indexed comprehensive database for quantifying scholarly activity. ScholarGPS™ begins by capturing authorship and citation details of over 140 million archival publications in the form of journal articles, books, book chapters, patents, and conference papers using data mining, machine learning, and other data science techniques. ScholarGPS™ subdivides and indexes this comprehensive set of authorship and citation data into 14 broad Fields which reflect typical academic divisions such as Medicine, Engineering and Computer Science, Law, and the Arts and Humanities. The Fields are further subdivided into 177 Disciplines (for example, Surgery, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, and History) which coincide with standard academic Disciplines. Importantly, ScholarGPS™ takes the additional step to identify over 350,000 unique Specialties (e.g., COVID-19, Breast Cancer, Artificial Intelligence, French Revolution) that are associated with the Disciplines. Based on this organizational structure, ScholarGPS™ generates scholar profiles of all scholars as well as quantitative and rigorous rankings of scholars, programs, and institutions in specific Fields, Disciplines, and Specialties that are issued on a regular basis.
