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.

Stay tuned for details on the application process.

InterPore Journal Invited Student Paper Award

In case you missed our recent announcement, we’re pleased to remind you of the continuation of the Invited Student Paper Award for its second year! This award honors exceptional student presentations at the InterPore annual meeting, with nominated students invited to submit a paper to the InterPore Journal. The award will be granted upon successful publication.

All students who were enrolled at the time of abstract submission and will present (either online or in person) at the conference are eligible. You can indicate your interest in this award during the abstract submission process. For more details, please click here.

Minisymposia

The annual InterPore conference includes 26 minisymposia. In this and future mailings, we present to you a few at a time. Details about the organizers of each minisymposia and the Solicited Speakers are provided through the “More information” links.

MS19 – processes and properties in porous media

Wave propagation, electron transport and electrolyte flow through porous media are found in many fields of science and technology, ranging from petroleum, chemical and construction engineering, to cell, earth and materials science. In this mini-symposium, attention is devoted to new developments in characterization methods and modeling techniques addressing state-of-the-art challenges in elasticity, electrical engineering and electrochemistry in porous media.

MS04 – Swelling and shrinking porous media

The coupling between flow and deformation during swelling / shrinking can give rise to a variety of complex phenomena, including changes in mechanical or transport properties, changes in size or shape, and the formation of fracture or wrinkle patterns. The goal of this mini-symposium will be to highlight new experiments that provide direct visualization and characterization of these phenomena, as well as new theories that harness the output of these tools to better model flow and transport during swelling/shrinking.

MS15 – Machine Learning and Big Data in Porous Media

Recent advances in computer and data sciences have made machine learning (ML) techniques a frontier in porous media-related research. As a result, classical challenges in porous media are being addressed with new techniques based on ML. The aim of this mini-symposium is to present the recent results of new ML methods and introduce new directions in porous media-related research to researchers in our community.

Invited speaker

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

Achraf Noureddine University of New Mexico, USA

Title: The love story between particle porosity and the biomedical field

Achraf Noureddine is a junior assistant professor of research at the department of chemical and biological engineering at the University of New Mexico.

Engineering material porosity was initiated to harness their properties in catalysis and separation. Shortly after, adapting porosity to nanotechnology was embraced by the biomedical field: Particle porosity not only can accommodate, concentrate and protect nanocatalysts or nanotherapeutics from small molecule drugs to nucleic acids and proteins, but…

New platinum sponsor

We are delighted to welcome back Kimberly-Clark as a Platinum Sponsor for InterPore2025! Kimberly-Clark’s ongoing support of InterPore highlights a mutual dedication to advancing porous media science and we extend our sincere appreciation for their continued partnership and invaluable contributions to InterPore2025!

Must see…. in Albuquerque!

InterPore2025 will be in Albuquerque. This week’s cultural highlight: Exploring Petroglyph Mountain

Located just outside of Albuquerque, Petroglyph Mountain is a fascinating blend of natural beauty and ancient history. This rugged, volcanic landscape offers visitors a rare opportunity to explore thousands of petroglyphs—rock carvings made by Native American cultures and early Spanish settlers. The petroglyphs date back over 500 years and span several centuries, from prehistoric Native American cultures to early Spanish settlers in the 17th century. This 7,236-acre monument offers a unique opportunity to connect with the ancient past while enjoying the stunning beauty of New Mexico’s desert landscape.

Petroglyph Mountain is crisscrossed by a series of well-maintained trails that provide access to the petroglyphs. During your hike, keep an eye out for diverse desert wildlife like roadrunners, jackrabbits, and the occasional coyote.

Whether you’re a history buff, an outdoor enthusiast, or simply someone looking to connect with nature, a visit to Petroglyph Mountain is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
