Thomson Reuters has identified Dr. Antonio Facchetti, chief technical officer for Polyera Corporation, as one of the world’s top 100 materials scientists who achieved the highest citation impact scores for their papers (articles and reviews) published since January 2000.
"Impact is a weighted measure of influence that seeks to reveal consistently superior performance,” Reuters stated. “To ensure that a high score could not be achieved by a few highly cited papers, a threshold of 25 papers was used in the analysis. The average citation impact in materials science for the period was 6.93, so all the researchers listed above achieved more than six times that mark."
"We're incredibly fortunate to have Antonio as part of our team," said Brendan Florez, assistant general manager at Polyera. "He is a brilliant chemist and a tremendous asset to Polyera's management team. His ranking, based upon citation scores, is even all the more impressive considering most of the work Polyera does is proprietary and confidential, and we only publish a small subset of the work we do. Antonio is actually one of only two scientists listed with a company affiliation. We are thrilled that his talent and hard work have been recognized."
