Detour and return—Chenfu Wu’s interdisciplinary research journey

Defining Electronic Authenticity: An Interdisciplinary Journey

Since the mid-1990s, dozens of States, including those of the EU, have reformed their evidence laws so as to grant digital signature technologies the same proof value as handwritten signatures, as a mechanism for proving identity of authorship, consent to obligations, and integrity of electronic records after their transmission across time and space. Yet, several archival institutions (includin...

From light to life: an interdisciplinary journey into photosynthetic activity.

Introduction One intention of the organizers of the EMBO workshop on Molecular Genetics and Biophysical Aspects of Photosynthesis was to bring together scientists with different backgrounds and experimental approaches. Indeed, the meeting proved that photosynthesis is a privileged field of interdisciplinary research, in which each of the many methods used in its investigation (whether biophysic...

The Interdisciplinary Research Process

This book provides case studies of the performance of interdisciplinary research. It is hoped that these case studies will prove instructive both to students and other scholars as they perform interdisciplinary research. This introductory chapter does not provide a detailed overview of these case studies: Brief descriptions of each chapter are provided in the Preface, and a discussion of lesson...

Interdisciplinary Research in Physics

Victor Pan – My Research Journey

I have been working in Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, and Computer Science for more than five decades, facing research challenges and seeking new insights and novel methods. I was thrilled whenever I discovered new keys that opened challenging scientific locks, particularly when a single key opened a number of locks, as this was the case with my techniques of active operation/linear su...
