What leads to
making of a my own blend
One of my great strengths lie in steep learning curves that come from various research activities and experiences that actually succeeded, from early years of my undergraduate to government-funded research agency up to this point, and how I seek feedback out of technical discussion with colleagues in such an interdisciplinary research topics.
That time we were limited to three team members, each from different academic fields. In highly interdisciplinary fields like those I have experienced, specific people do not become agitated when giving and receiving feedback without delay and are not bothered by accepting new ideas as key factors.
