New Chair of Membership Committee

We are pleased to announce that Bo Guo (Assistant Professor at the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Arizona, USA) has agreed to chair the Membership Committee, replacing Lilit Yeghiazarian (Professor at the College of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Cincinnati, USA). Lilit Yeghiazarian has been chairing this committee since its formation in 2016. The InterPore Executive Committee is very grateful for her support of InterPore and her valuable actions in growing its membership. As there remains ample opportunity for InterPore’s expansion around the globe, we are fortunate that Bo Guo will be taking the lead for this continual task.

– Michel Quintard

It is a great honor and pleasure to serve as new chair of the InterPore Membership Committee. Over the years, I have benefited tremendously from InterPore as a student and postdoc and later as early-career faculty. I feel proud to be able to now give back to our community. In the coming years, our committee will continue serving our current members to the best of our capacity. Additionally, we will focus on expanding and engaging new members from underrepresented geographical regions including those in Africa and South America.

Short bio: Bo is an assistant professor in the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona. His research group specializes in pore-scale physics and practical field-scale modeling motivated by problems from fate and transport of emergent contaminants in soil and groundwater, shale gas/oil production, and geological carbon storage. Prior to joining the University of Arizona, Bo was a postdoc in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford University. Bo holds a B.S. in Hydraulic Engineering from Tsinghua University and a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Princeton University.
