Prof. Bejan Wins Kimberly-Clark Distinguished Lectureship Award

Following the proposal from the Kimberly-Clark Distinguished Lectureship Award Committee, InterPore Foundation is pleased to announce that the Kimberly-Clark Distinguished Lecturer 2023 will be:

Professor Adrian Bejan

J.A. Jones Distinguished Professor at Duke University
Durham, North Carolina, USA

Prof. Bejan’s contributions to porous media research and beyond are well known: convection in porous media, constructal law, evolutionary design everywhere in nature, bio and non-bio… He is the author of 30 books and 700 peer-refereed journal articles. InterPore is greatly honoured to have such an outstanding lecturer.

His lecture, entitled “Vascular Materials: Predicting Design Evolution”, will focus on one of his major contributions: evolutionary design illustrated in the case of multiscale vasculature, a methodology that can be used generally to predict the evolution toward flow access, miniaturization, high density of heat transfer, and the scaling up (or down) of an existing design.
