ECE Celebrates Du for Recognition on the Highly Cited Researchers 2021 List
February 2, 2022
Mississippi State University’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is proud to recognize Professor Qian (Jenny) Du for being named to the annual Highly Cited Researchers™ 2021 list from Clarivate.
Du’s research interests include hyperspectral remote sensing image analysis and applications, pattern recognition, and machine learning.
The anticipated annual list identifies researchers who demonstrated significant influence in their chosen field through the publication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade. Their names are drawn from the publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science™ citation index.
“It is increasingly important for nations and institutions to recognize and support the exceptional researchers who are driving the expansion of the world’s knowledge,” David Pendlebury, Senior Citation Analyst at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate said. “This list identifies and celebrates exceptional individual researchers who are having a significant impact on the research community as evidenced by the rate at which their work is being cited by their peers. The research they have contributed is fueling the innovation, sustainability, health and security that is key for our society’s future.”
