Five researchers from Florida Polytechnic University have been recognized as being among the top 2% of scientists globally on a prestigious annual list compiled by Stanford University. The findings are published in PLOS Biology.
It is the third year Florida Poly researchers were recognized on the list of world’s top scientists, the school said in a news release. The recognitions were in two categories: work and citations in the last year and work and citations over a scientist’s entire career.
Ajeet Kaushik, assistant professor of environmental engineering, and Muhammad Rashid, professor of electrical and computer engineering, were recognized for work and citations over their careers. Each has also previously been named to the list of top scientists over the course of a year.
