A point of view from an industrial researcher - What can both industry and academia do together to build a bridge? An exploration into the divide between industry and academia reveals the existence of differences in languages and evaluation criteria. The contrasting workplace cultures and processes within each sphere may hinder the development and implementation of new technologies once they have been discovered. This lecture delves into the persistent question: Why does the valley of death still exist even after years of research into closing it? Shedding light on this, this lecture will examine how collaborative efforts and cross-disciplinary interactions are essential. By dissecting the challenges, infrastructural disparities, and evolving landscape of innovation, this lecture hopes to inspire a collaborative approach to technology innovation across both industry and research and facilitate a symbiotic bridge between the two. Dr Sarah Glanvill joined Renishaw following the completion of her PhD at the University of Birmingham in Material Science and Engineering in 2018. During her PhD, she specialised in atmospheric corrosion of aluminium alloys using techniques such as Raman Spectroscopy and Synchrotron Tomography to investigate corrosion growth kinetics and propagation. This was for applications in the aerospace industry. Sarah joined Renishaw after the completion of her PhD and worked in their Materials Analysis and Research group as a Materials Scientist carrying out materials analysis. 5 years on from initially joining the business Sarah now as a Lead Materials Scientist, leads and manages Renishaw’s materials research and development group which carries out R&D projects with a materials focus for all of Renishaw’s product divisions globally. In her own words “The world around us is built and moulded by materials. When at their best, they improve our world seamlessly every day”.
