Two Faculty Members from the Computer Science Department Recognized Among the Top 2% Most Influential Scientists in the World

16 Oct 2024

The Faculty of Computer Science at MIU is proud to announce that two of its distinguished faculty members, Prof. Eslam Amer and Associate Prof. Diaa Salama, have both achieved remarkable recognition in the 2024 Stanford University Ranking, USA. Prof. Amer has earned this honor for the second time, while Associate Prof. Salama has received it for the third time, placing them among the top 2% of the most widely cited scientists worldwide.

Stanford Ranking includes over 160,000 researchers from more than 8 million active academics worldwide, spanning across 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields. The list relies on Scopus data provided by Elsevier. The evaluation is based on a composite indicator known as the c-score, which takes into account several factors, including the number of citations a scientist has received, the h-index, and field-normalized citation impact. The c-score is designed to be a more comprehensive measure of scientific impact compared to conventional metrics, such as the total number of citations.

This is a remarkable achievement for Prof. Eslam Amer and Associate Prof. Diaa Salama, and it is a testament to their outstanding research contributions and the high quality of work being undertaken at the Faculty of Computer Science, MIU. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to them both for this well-deserved recognition.
