Gavin Named Among World's Top 2% Scientists for Third Consecutive Year

Gavin has been included for the third year running on the Stanford/Elsevier World's Top 2% Scientists list. He appears on the single-year list in the Energy field, which is based on citations received during 2025. He is not on the career-long list, which recognises a whole body of work.

Gavin noted that a large part of his citations derive from one paper written by fourteen researchers on the Faraday Institution's ReLiB Project, drawing on chemistry, engineering, materials science, robotics and social science. Several of his co-authors on that paper also appear on the lists. He observed that the scoring favours sole or lead authorship over large collaborations, even though the problems he works on, such as batteries, critical materials and supply chains, are solved by large mixed teams. He thanked collaborators, reviewers and critics.
