BRIDGING THE GAPS BETWEEN MATHEMATICS, ICT AND ENGINEERING RESEARCH
WELCOME TO THE BRIDGING THE GAPS WEB PAGES
|
A collaboration between the Departments of Chemical & Process Engineering and Applied Mathematics has involved the validation of a mathematical model for the pressure driven flow of a non-Newtonian fluid in a microchannel T-junction.

The University of Sheffield has recently been successful in securing a grant from EPSRC under their 'Bridging the Gaps' Initiative. This £350k grant provides funding to foster the development of links between researchers in Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science and Information / Communications technology.
The grant is based around four research themes:
- Uncertainty
- Data and Performance Analysis
- Design validation
- Multi-physics and multi-scale modelling.
Funding
Funding is available for members of University staff (academic and research) and research students to build these links by means of the following mechanisms:
- Fully-funded discipline Hopping Secondments
- Themed retreats
- Research pump-priming awards
- Themed Seminars
- Industrial hot-house
- Industrial exchange fellowships
- Funded flagship research projects
- Conference buddy scheme
- Funding to host visiting scholars.
