Finding academic expertise in specific areas

[The Moon Gauge]

I wonder how to find theoretical physics labs which have high level expertise in specific areas. Is there an online DB or "ranking" by area rather than by country?
Also looking for HCR in TP.
Cheers!

Is there an online DB or "ranking"?

So, what part of India are you from?

(If you need it explained, there is an over-emphasis on rankings from many members, especially new members, from India.)

There is no such field as "TP". Theoretical condensed matter is not the same as theoretical nuclear physics, which is not the same as theoretical high energy physics, which is not the same as theoretical cosmology, etc. If you don't know (or don't tell us) what you are interested in studying, how can we tell you which schools are good at it?

Also looking for HCR in TP.

HCR? High Contrast Ratio? Hazard Communication Rule? High Commissioner for Refugees?

I am not Indian :)

I am aware that TP is a vague category but I did not really expect to be given schools or TP labs. Rather, I was looking for a website/DB/register where I can find those information and do the research by entering the fields/sub-fields myself. It is more theoretical high energy physics, theoretical cosmology & mathematical physics related.

Given the context of this forum section, HCR => Highly Cited Researchers.

Cheers!

What journals do you read over now in the areas of your interest? Look at the authors and cited papers, and search to find out what universities they are from. That will start to give you an idea of some of the leading universities in the areas of your interest.

"HCR" is not a well-known acronym, nor is, as has been explained, TP. Please minimize the use of such acronyms if you want to get good responses.

Thanks for this advice. At the moment only ArXiv and ResearchGate are my source of articles.

Ok
TP => Theoretical Physics

Those still tell you who wrote the papers. What universities are your favorite ones coming out of? That will be a pretty good guide. You could also just post a couple here and say hey I want to do research like this and I bet someone will know how to help you.

Thanks. At the moment my mind is thinking about MIT, Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, Cornell... Basically all the big ones. It is true that they all have very prestigious theoretical physics departments but as I learned in this forum, I need to focus mainly on the international academic expertise for my fields of interest first and foremost.

On a more realistic note, at this point I am not ready to move on to the other side of the atlantic (I am from Europe). Therefore, I am looking for theoretical physics labs/unis in Europe which have nothing to envy to those US uni I previously gave. I am aware Germany followed by UK are in a very good position and will do further research in those countries. There's Netherlands as well.

But hey if someone from MIT, Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, Cornell is here reading my message and willing to provide info or opportunities of (online) research collaborations as a research assistant/graduate researcher or even PhD I am totally ok
Let's go for it :)
