Abstract
Cross-disciplinary training and collaboration is becoming not only a fad, but a true trend of the future as the divisions between fields are crumbling due to the changing landscape of research. Modern researchers often have to understand mathematical concepts when they implement new computational techniques to understand the underlying structure and relationships of the phenomena they are investigating. I will explore how a cross-disciplinary approach can aid and enrich research collaborations. I also will explore cross-disciplinary training as a possible motivating vehicle for promoting STEM education, especially with engaging women to pursue science careers.
