Ms. Huff, who calls herself an "idea girl," is something of an anomaly in the world of information defense, which is dominated by men with backgrounds in physics or mathematics.
"About 30 new graduate students arrive each year, many of whom join us with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, or engineering," says the department.
For these positions CERN typically seeks individuals with backgrounds in physics, computer science, electronics, mechanics, cryogenics, ultrahigh vacuum, materials science, radiation protection, cooling and ventilation, civil engineering, operation of accelerators and associated equipment, and conventional and superconducting magnets.
In addition to bringing new researchers into the field with backgrounds in physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering, theoretical approaches have helped to introduce new ideas and shape directions of neuroscience research.
ZestFinance's team of predictive modelers, who all have backgrounds in physics, computer science and mathematics, analyzes thousands of variables created by machine learning algorithms, modifies them based on patterns, trends, and unique insights, and feeds these variables into multiple big data models.
Sosolimited is a crew of MIT grads turned audio visual artists – Eric Gunther, Justin Manor and John Rothenberg – with backgrounds in physics, architecture, computer science, media arts and music.
It seems necessary to emphasize here that the "replication first" models, such as the RNA world, leave biologists happy but cannot completely satisfy those with a background in physics or physical chemistry who realize that RNA life would be thermodynamically implausible unless coupled to some utilizable energy source.
Mr. Grossman, who has a background in physics, admits that neither he nor his partner is a weather expert.
