# Documented Cross-Domain Method Transfer
**Entity class:** Evidentiary relationship
**Documented cross-domain method transfer** exists when public records show the same researcher, team, or methodological family being applied across substantively different domains. It is stronger than analogy because the transfer is visible in the research record, while remaining distinct from proof that two projects shared code, data, funding, or an operational customer.
For [[wiki/Tan Bui-Thanh|Tan Bui-Thanh]], Oden documents a methodological family spanning inverse problems, [[wiki/Uncertainty Quantification|uncertainty quantification]], [[wiki/Reduced-Order Modeling|model reduction]], scientific machine learning, parameter inference, and timely prediction. The public sequence includes nuclear-radiation-effects prediction and a later infectious-disease project built around interconnectivity, spatial and temporal variables, intervention, real-time forecasting, and uncertainty. This makes portability a documented property of the research program.
