Twelve Northeastern University researchers have been recognized for their elite scholarly output. 

The faculty members were included in this year’s “Highly Cited Researchers” list, an annual compilation by the data analytics company Clarivate that recognizes scholars who rank among the top 1% of their field. 

“It is a point of pride that twelve of Northeastern’s faculty earned recognition among the world’s most influential scholars,” said Beth A. Winkelstein, Northeastern University’s provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. “Their work shapes conversations in their fields and drives progress on some of society’s most pressing challenges.”

Those researchers from Northeastern, a top-tier R1 institution, are Ruth Aguilera, Arun Bansil, Lisa Feldman Barrett, Charles H. Hillman, Miten Jain, Qingying Jia, David Lazer, Kim Lewis, Katie E. Lotterhos, Sanjeev Mukerjee, Alessandro Vespignani and Hongli Zhu.
