Universities had a net outflow of 253 moves, and Stanford University had the largest net outflow of any organization

737 people in the directory work at a university now. 322 work at a company, including its labs. Some people hold both kinds of position, and they count in both groups.

Median h-index

The median h-index of people at universities is 51. For people at companies it is 44. These medians use the 667 university people and 163 company people whose OpenAlex record is not marked as uncertain.

Net flow of moves

Net flow counts full moves: moves in minus moves out. A position taken while the person kept an earlier one does not count. These numbers count moves, so one person can add more than one.

Universities together had a net outflow of 253 moves. Companies together had a net inflow of 170 moves. The largest net outflow of any organization is 30 moves, at Stanford University.

MIT and RIKEN

Massachusetts Institute of Technology has the 2nd largest net outflow of any organization: 65 full moves in and 91 out, a net outflow of 26 moves. 26 people in the directory work there now, with a median h-index of 78. They are Antonio Torralba, Berthold K. P. Horn, Brian C. Williams, Chuchu Fan, Cynthia Breazeal, Daniel Huttenlocher, Daniela Rus, David H. Autor, Edward Adelson, Joshua B.
