New Members on Local Organizing Committee

Hongkyu and his co-chairs are pleased to welcome new members to the Local Organizing Committee. Joining the team are: Javier Santos and Yun Yang from Los Alamos National Laboratory and Teeratorn Kadeethum from Sandia National Laboratories. Tayyab Zafar from the University of New Mexico joins as a student member. More information on the LOC can be found on our website.

Proposals for Conference Courses

Submission of proposals for Conference Courses at InterPore2025 is now open! Courses will be organized as satellite events of the InterPore Annual Meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico on the following dates:

• Sunday, 18 May 2025
• Friday, 23 May 2025

Standard duration of a given course will be half a day (3-hour lecture). Proposals for non-standard duration, if well justified, will be considered. Main criteria for selection of proposals include track record of the proposers as well as the opportunity to ensure diversity to a full extent across the set of courses.

To submit your proposal, please complete the submission form.

Minisymposia

The annual InterPore conference includes 26 minisymposia. In the next Bulletins, we will introduce three at the time. Find out who are the organizers of the minisymposia and who are the Solicited Speakers through the “More information” links.

MS01: Porous Media for a Green World: Energy & Climate

Porous media science is set to play a key role in the transition to renewable energy sources. In this session, we invite contributions on all aspects of the utilization of porous media for a sustainable energy future.

MS05: Microbial Dynamics in Porous Media

Microbial processes are integral to the form and function of numerous natural and engineered porous media, including soils, reservoirs, and water treatment technologies. We invite contributions from diverse disciplines to advance our understanding of microbial processes in water and porous media.

MS25: Advances in Carbon Mineralization

In situ carbon mineralization — a method that sequesters CO2 by transforming it into solid carbonate minerals — is considered a promising strategy for carbon management. We invite abstract submissions that shed light on the critical processes involved in mineral dissolution and precipitation across spatial scales, from the pore to reservoir scales.

Invited speaker

In anticipation of InterPore2025, we’re introducing the invited speakers in today’s and forthcoming Newsletters and Bulletins. This week: Karin Schroen

Karin Schroen
Wageningen University, The Netherlands

Title: Membrane filtration revisited

Karin Schroen is a full professor in food microtechnology at Wageningen University, and in membrane processes for food at Twente University, both in the Netherlands.

Membrane filtration processes are well known for their successful application in food. It may therefore come as a surprise that the mechanistic understanding of what is underlying filtration is not that well understood, especially not when components are used that are typical for food production. These components are flexible and deformable and behave rather different from hard particles. In the presentation, results obtained with microfluidic devices will be showcased. Various model membranes were investigated, and amongst others the shape of the pores were varied, as well as the mode of operation (dead end versus cross flow). The main conclusion was… [continue reading]

Must see…. in Albuquerque!

InterPore2025 will be in Albuquerque. This week’s cultural highlight: Tent Rocks: An Enigmatic Wonder

Tent Rocks (Kasha-Katuwe) is a breathtaking natural wonder to explore, hidden in the enchanting landscapes of New Mexico. This unique geological marvel, with its towering rock formations and stunning landscapes, offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.

The Tent Rocks are renowned for their striking conical formations, resembling enormous tents scattered across the desert. The formations are not only a natural landmark but also a source of inspiration and spirituality to the Pueblo peoples, who have inhabited the surrounding areas. At Tent Rocks, keep an eye out for colorful wildflowers, pinyon pines, and various bird species that call this area home.

Located about 53 miles north of Albuquerque, the Tent Rocks National Monument offers visitors a variety of experiences. Whether you’re an avid hiker, a nature lover, or just seeking a scenic getaway, Tent Rocks has something special for everyone.
