Honored for the Third Consecutive Year: Recognized Among the World’s Top 2% Scientists in 2024

In 2022, I was first honored to be included among the world’s top 2% of scientists across all disciplines, ranked 312,991 in the Elsevier and Stanford University citation rankings. This recognition was a testament to the impact of my research in neonatal resuscitation and perinatal care.

In 2023, I was again included in this prestigious list, moving up to 264,129—reflecting the growing influence of my work.

Now, in 2024, I am once again recognized, with a further improved ranking to 238,747, reaffirming the sustained impact of my research in neonatal health, clinical trials, and mentorship.

What This Recognition Means

The Elsevier rankings, compiled by Stanford researchers, provide a standardized evaluation of scientific influence based on citation metrics—including authorship position, co-authorship, and overall impact within the research community. While these rankings measure academic contributions, the true success of research lies in real-world applications that improve patient care, inform clinical guidelines, and drive innovation.

Advancing Neonatal Care Through Research and Collaboration

Over the past decade, my work has focused on improving neonatal resuscitation techniques and optimizing care for preterm infants. Key contributions include:

• Leading landmark clinical trials, such as the HiLo-Trial, which examines oxygen delivery strategies in preterm infants.

• Developing and testing novel resuscitation technologies, such as the NextStep Volume Control Neonatal Resuscitator.

• Influencing global neonatal resuscitation guidelines through contributions to ILCOR (International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation) and AHA (American Heart Association).

• Mentoring and training the next generation of neonatal clinician-scientists, ensuring that our field continues to innovate.

A Collective Achievement

While I am honored by this recognition for a third consecutive year, I view it as a shared success—one that reflects the collective efforts of collaborators, trainees, and research teams worldwide. Neonatal research is a dynamic and rapidly evolving field, where teamwork and innovation are essential to driving meaningful change.

As I continue this journey, my focus remains on translating research into practice, ensuring that newborns—especially those at the highest risk—receive the best possible care from the moment they take their first breath.
