人物生平
歐陽瑩之先後在上海、香港、美國等地就讀國小、中學、大學,1972年獲麻省理工學院物理學博士學位。畢業後曾在美國惠普公司供職,後在麻省理工學院從事研究工作20餘年。1992年以來,她的研究興趣轉向對科學技術本質的哲學考察。著有《量子場論如何可能?》(1995)、《複雜系統理論基礎》(1998)、《日常生活和認知科學中的心智》(2000)、《工程學——無盡的前沿》(2008年)等。

講座文章
註:文章未發表
The ontology of quantum fields: entity and quality
Nature and our descriptions of it: predicate, function, symmetry
Two notions of "convergence on truth"
Synthetic analysis: how scientists combat complexity
Nonlinear dynamics: how science comprehends chaos
Mass phenomena and complexities of composition
Are you nothing but genes and neurons?
The hedgehog and the fox: two styles in science
Who am I? What is it? The subject-object relation
What do you see, and how? The cognitive infrastructure of vision
Technology as a scientific capacity to produce
Similarity and complementarity of science and engineering
Local and global knowledge in science and engineering
System concepts in engineering
Why chemical engineering emerged in American instead of Germany
What's wrong with "technology as applied science?"
The worldly sciences
From experience to design – the science behind Aspirin
Luck and the prepared mind in drug discovery
Reality and politics in the war on infectious diseases
Scientific convergence in the birth of molecular biology
Levels of complexity – understanding and fighting cancer
