School of Mathematical Sciences Researchers in Top 2% of 2025 Elsevier/Stanford University World Rankings
Three researchers from the School of Mathematical Sciences, UCC have once again been named among the top 2% of most-cited academics in their fields worldwide in the 2025 Elsevier/Stanford University World Rankings of Researchers.
- Dr. David Henry: Senior Lecturer in Mathematical Sciences UCC, and Principal Investigator of Research Ireland “Internal Wave-Current Interactions" group.
- Prof Finbarr O'Sullivan: Chair Professor of Statistics UCC
- Prof. Sebastian Wieczorek: Chair Professor of Applied Mathematics UCC
Stanford's Top 2% Scientists list is an emerging discipline-specific ranking that identifies scholars who are top-cited in their respective fields. It is based on an analysis of standardised citation data and citation impact across 22 scientific fields and 174 subfields using data from the Scopus database.
The ranking reflects a scientist’s influence rather than just their publication count, and considers scholars who have published multiple highly cited papers. It evaluates the citation impact of their work using various metrics and takes into account both career-long citation impact and the impact in a single recent year.
To determine the selection, the list includes the top 100,000 scientists based on their composite indicator (c-score, with and without self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or above in the sub-field.
