Dear InterPore colleagues,
It is tempting to write about the outcome of the US elections, and considering many human-caused devastating events around the globe (including Ukraine, the Middle-East, Myanmar, Sudan), but I’ll restrict myself to pointing out the UNESCO World Science Day for Peace and Development 2024.
We can carry a heavy burden when we carry it together! One example is the InterPore Foundation funding conference grants for those who can’t afford the trip. Please find out more below.
And we also have our own elections still open to 30 November! Have you already voted?
All the best,
Matthijs de Winter
Editor-in-Chief
InterPore News
This is your opportunity to showcase your research and share your insights with the international porous media community.
Submissions can be made to a variety of minisymposia across different themes. Submit your abstracts here!
Plenary speaker
In anticipation of InterPore2025, we’re introducing the plenary speakers in today’s and forthcoming Newsletters and Bulletins. This week: Sylvie Lorente
Sylvie Lorente
Villanova University, USA
Title: Flow architectures in porous media, designing for efficiency
Sylvie Lorente is the William M. Brown ’84, ’87 Endowed Chair in Mechanical Engineering at Villanova University, PA, USA, since June 2024. Sylvie has a passion for flow architectures, and works on thermal design, energy storage, vascularized structures, porous media, biological flow networks, urban design and organizations. Flow systems can evolve toward greater efficiency by adapting… [continue]
Minisymposia
The annual InterPore conference includes 26 minisymposia. In the next Bulletins, we will introduce three at the time. Find out who the organizers of the minisymposia and who the Solicited Speakers are through the “More information” links.
MS02 – Porous Media for a Green World: Water & Agriculture
Sustainable use of soil and water resources is crucial to preserve healthy terrestrial ecosystems and maintaining food security. This minisymposium aims to bring together contributions on the physics, chemistry and biology of porous media with emphasis on applications to the ecohydrology and biogeochemistry of ecosystems. [More info]
MS06 – Physics of multiphase flow in diverse porous media
Multiphase flow in porous media is significant to many applications. The purpose of this minisymposium is to provide forum to share and explore recent insights into multiphase displacement physics through experiments, modelling and theory development. [More info]
MS26 – Mechanisms Across Scales in Subsurface CO2
Geologic carbon storage is a linchpin in the suite of technologies. This mini-symposium is inspired by the contributions of Professor Sally Benson – researcher, educator, mentor, advisor to the U.S. President, and recipient of the InterPore Society Honorary Lifetime Membership Award in 2024. We invite submissions that highlight multiscale and/or multimodal investigations into multiphase flows in geologic systems, particularly for energy-forward applications. [More info]
Conference Grants for InterPore2025
We are pleased to announce that InterPore Foundation for Porous Media Science and Technology (InterPore Foundation) would once again like to offer a number of conference grants to researchers from academic institutions from countries with low- or middle-income economies, as defined by the World Bank, and to graduate students.
Applicants must have a presentation at the InterPore2025 conference and current InterPore membership. The grants will be awarded based on applicants’ academic attainment and quality of their research abstracts.
For more information about the application process, please visit the webpage.
Please send the full application package to Sandra Bartsch.
New Gold Sponsor
We are thrilled to announce Shell as a Gold Sponsor for InterPore2025! Shell’s continued support underscores a shared commitment to advancing porous media research and fostering innovation in energy, sustainability, and technology. We extend our deepest thanks to Shell for their invaluable support!
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.

Election 2024 until 30 November
InterPore Election is now underway, and will remain open until 30 November 2024. All current InterPore members are eligible to vote and decide who the next President will be, along with four new Council Members and five new Student Affairs Committee members.
You should have received an e-mail from Survey & Ballot Systems which includes a personalized one- time link to the ballot, as well as all the necessary instructions to submit your vote. if you can’t find the e-mail, it might be in your spam folder. If you need more support, please reach out to Sandra Bartsch.
Information about the candidates is included on the online ballot. You can also find detailed information on our website.
After you submit your ballot, you will receive an e-mail confirmation that the ballot has been received and recorded.
Thank you for participating in this year’s election. Every vote is important!
Dwayne Jackson as new Chair for KC Lectureship Sub-Committee
Dwayne Jacksonis the new chair of the Kimberly-Clark Distinguished Lectureship Award Sub-Committee. The Award aims to identify and honor outstanding members of the porous media community to disseminate globally cutting-edge research through a series of lectures. Dwayne Jackson is currently a Senior Research Scientist at Kimberly-Clark Corporation and based in the USA. Thank you, Dwayne, for taking up this new role, and we wish you all the best!
Alex Hansen joins Honors and Awards Committee
Professor Alex Hansen from the Center of Excellence PoreLab, Deptartment of Physics, Faculty of Natural Sciences, NTNU – Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway, has joined the Honors and Awards Committee.
The Honors and Awards Committee aims to identify and honor outstanding members of the porous media community who have made extraordinary contribution to porous media research at different stages of their careers. The Committee is responsible for the selection of the best candidates for several InterPore awards.
