I was fascinated by the physical processes that underlie information processing, so studied physics and computer science initially. My PhD in computational and neural systems was a formational time. I experienced collaborations between biology, engineering and social sciences with a playful attitude.

Charting a Course for “Complexity”: Metamodeling, Ruliology and More

Stephen Wolfram

But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. But the more important strand has been one that starts to actually take the computational paradigm on board—with the thrust typically being “We can write a program to reproduce what we’re looking at”. What is that science?

Imaging the invisible: how can research software and imaging techniques help scientists study the things we can’t see?

As a result, a new discipline, known as research computing, has emerged to apply computers, not just software, to research including to help scientists capture images, construct models, which are turned into simulations, and analyse results. Research computing is a sub-discipline of computer science.
