Because computational methods originated in the natural sciences, some disciplines, such as chemistry and physics, have lots of research software at their disposal. Chemistry with Dr Nicole Hondow and Stuart Micklethwaite. Chemical engineering with Professor Sven Schroeder. These skills help them to transition into RSEs.

Nowadays, scientists like Professor Ian Paulsen and his team at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology in Australia are uncovering not just how these processes work, but how to modify them to get microbes to produce chemicals that no natural microbe makes. Synthetic biologists use them like tiny workspaces for novel chemistry. (©

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. But in 1834, Émile Clapeyron (1799–1864)—a rather distinguished French engineering professor (and steam engine designer)—wrote a paper entitled “ Memoir on the Motive Power of Heat ”.
