Released on November 15, the list recognizes scientists who have demonstrated significant influence through publishing multiple highly cited papers during the last decade. The experts were selected from the publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science citation index.<\/p>\n

“We are proud of the high quality research demonstrated by our very own UH<\/abbr> scientists on this premier list of highly cited researchers. Their work provides further evidence of our status as one of the world\u2019s great research universities,” UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Provost Michael Bruno<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n

Shidler Professor Stephen Vargo<\/h2>\n

Professor Stephen Vargo<\/strong> has appeared on this premier list for the ninth consecutive year. He was one of just 92 scientists worldwide selected to the economics and business category. Vargo has demonstrated exceptional influence through his publications, which were frequently cited by his peers during the last decade. His articles focused on the “Service-Dominant (S-D) Logic” framework, which redefines how value is co-created through economic exchange.<\/p>\n

Institute for Astronomy<\/a> Associate Professor and Astronomer Daniel Huber<\/strong> was recognized on the highly cited researchers list for the fourth straight year. He was one of just 93 scientists worldwide selected to the space science category. Huber\u2019s research focuses on the structure and evolution of solar-type and low-mass stars using observational techniques such as asteroseismology, optical long-baseline interferometry, spectroscopy and broadband photometry, as well as the discovery and characterization of exoplanets. Huber\u2019s research uses data from space-based and ground-based telescopes such as Kepler, K2, TESS, Keck, the CHARA Array, as well as various ground-based photometric and spectroscopic surveys.<\/p>\n

SOEST<\/abbr> Professor Fei-Fei Jin<\/h2>\n

For the third consecutive year, School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology<\/a> (SOEST<\/abbr>) Professor Fei-Fei Jin<\/strong> was named to the list in the cross-field category, which identifies researchers who have contributed highly cited papers across several different disciplines. Jin\u2019s research interests cover a wide range of topics, including the dynamics of large-scale atmosphere and ocean circulations, and climate variability. His primary research focuses are understanding the dynamics of El Niño-Southern Oscillation, climate variability in the extratropical atmospheric circulation and global warming.<\/p>\n

SOEST<\/abbr> Professor Emeritus Bin Wang<\/h2>\n

SOEST<\/abbr> Professor Emeritus Bin Wang<\/strong> was recognized on the highly cited researchers list in the geosciences category for the third time (previously in 2017 and 2018). He has been with the Department of Atmospheric Sciences (formerly Department of Meteorology) at UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa since 1987. Wang is a leading meteorologist specializing in climate and atmospheric dynamics. Among his research interests are variability and predictability of Asian-Australian monsoons, climate predictions, tropical cyclones and El Niño-Southern Oscillation dynamics.<\/p>\n

Former SOEST<\/abbr> postdoctoral fellow Daniel Mende<\/strong> was honored in the cross-field category for the first time. Mende specializes in environmental microbiology, microbial ecology, metagenomics and more. Mende is now assistant professor at Amsterdam University Medical Center, University of Amsterdam.<\/p>\n
