To submit an abstract to one of the 23 minisymposia, please refer to InterPore2023 (22-25 May 2023): Call for Abstracts.
MDPI Energies Student Poster Award
Nominate yourself for the MDPI Energies Student Poster Award, which is given in recognition of outstanding student poster presentations at the annual InterPore conference. All registered students who have a poster presentation are eligible to be considered for this award. Up to two awards will be given, each consisting of a prize of 500€. To qualify, you must indicate during abstract submission that you wish to be included in the competition. More information can be found here.
This award has been made possible by a generous grant from MDPI Energies.
InterPore2023 will include both oral and poster presentations which can be given online and in-person. In-Person oral and poster presentations will be presented in sessions at the conference in Edinburgh. Online presentations will not be scheduled into live sessions but presenters will have the opportunity to provide digital materials and a pre-recorded presentation, with dedicated chat channels available for anytime interaction. More information on the conference format can be found online.
We are finalizing the detailed prospectus for potential exhibitors and sponsors at InterPore2023 and will be sending it out to our existing industry connections soon. Do you know of a company who should be on our list? Let us know! Perhaps it’s one you regularly work with; maybe it’s one you’d like to work with. We’d love to hear your ideas. Email us with the organization name and contact information.
Invited Speaker at InterPore2023
Prof Behnam Jafarpour
University of Southern California, USA
Title: Deep Learning for Parameterization and Calibration of Subsurface Flow Models
Behnam Jafarpour is a Professor and Endowed Fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Material Science at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, where he has joint appointments in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department as well as the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department.
Calibration of subsurface flow models often leads to underdetermined inverse problems, where limited data is used to estimate spatially distributed hydraulic properties of geologic formations at high resolution. The problem is usually solved by using a given model of geologic continuity to constrain the expected distribution and connectivity patterns of the solution. Deep learning offers a new perspective for low-dimensional parameterization and calibration of complex high-dimensional flow models. Using training data with diverse and complex spatial connectivity patterns, deep learning models can… continue reading
Minisymposia
MS05: Biochemical processes, including microbially driven mineral precipitation and biofilm accumulation and activity, can impact reactive mass transport and material properties of porous media. We invite contributors to present and discuss results from microbial, enzymatic and temperature driven experimental and simulation modeling studies, at various scales of observation, which highlight recent advances in this overall theme area. For example, microbially induced… read more
MS11: Porous media research spans a very wide range of physical length scales: from micrometer up to the km scale. Validity of the continuum-scale theories (e.g. Darcy’s law for two-phase flow) have been seriously challenged in the recent two decades through microscale experimental and computational research. Microfluidics systems greatly improve our current understanding of small scale processes This minisymposium aims to gather researchers with interest in the use of microfluidics devices for the investigation of pore-scale processes that take… read more
Did you know….Edinburgh?
InterPore2023 will be in Edinburgh. Edinburgh has a lot of things to offer with respect to science, science history and porous media. This week, a look into the city’s geography: Arthur’s Seat.
Edinburgh is often said to have been built on seven hills in an allusion to Rome, although it’s not hard to come up with a few more if you know the city well. The highest of them all is known as Arthur’s Seat, an ancient volcano that erupted 350 million years ago. Although it is sometimes said that its name derived from the legend of King Arthur, it is more likely coming from the Gaelic Àrd-na-Said, meaning height of arrows. It’s a short, slightly strenuous hike to the highest point (251 m), but absolutely worth it to look out over Edinburgh from this vantage point.
