New award winner for 2024: Ruben Juanes
Congratulations to Prof. Ruben Juanes as the recipient of the 2024 Kimberly-Clark Distinguished Lectureship Award.
Prof. Ruben Juanes
Civil and Environmental Engineering
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Prof. Juanes is a Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, both in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. He has an outstanding track record of achievements and contributions to the field of porous media research, by his commitment to excellence in education and mentoring and by his exceptional skills as lecturer and communicator.
Ruben Juanes is a world-renowned expert in the field of multiphase flow in porous media. His research aims at advancing fundamental understanding and predictive capabilities of the simultaneous flow of two or more fluids through rocks, soils,and other porous materials. It combines theory, simulation, and experiments, to elucidate fundamental aspects of multiphase flow.
His contributions provide fundamental understanding of natural phenomena and have the potential to radically advance the deployment of energy systems, which depend critically on multiphase flow processes.
InterPore and InterPore Foundation congratulate Prof. Juanes on this honor and wish him continued success.
The Kimberly-Clark Distinguished Lecturer 2023 is Professor Adrian Bejan from Duke University, USA.
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.
