My experience of working in collaborative multidisciplinary teams of researchers (typically involving chemists, biologists, biochemists, engineers, materials scientists, natural scientists, pharmacists, physicists and social scientists) in an interdisciplinary fashion to generate new knowledge and solve problems of a transdisciplinary nature is something I value and enjoy. I appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with experts with high quality discipline-specific training and will always attempt to engage in a proactive way if approached: my various commitments may distract me from responding instantaneously, but please do not hesitate to contact me again.
