InterPore Member Testimonials

“I found the Interpore conference 2015 a very effective forum to learn about key developments in the understanding of phenomena related to porous media. Whether it be oil extraction from rock structures, ground water infiltration into soils, or ink penetration into paper, it is instructive to see the similar fundamental problems that are being addressed and approaches that are being developed to answer these questions.”

“The experience that a few of us had at the Interpore conference last
year at Purdue was very rewarding. We saw a very good balance between
academia, industry and government, and also between theory, computation
and experimentation that is hard to find in other organizations. That is why we decided to become an Institutional Member of InterPore.”

“InterPore Members share our vision that an exciting new age of porous material developments lies ahead when crossing the boundaries of traditional disciplines, ranging from textile engineering to mathematics, from physics and chemical engineering, all the way to computer science and software engineering. By joining InterPore, we made sure to stay informed about the newest trends, best ideas and key requirements in our core business area – 3D Image-based material analysis and Computer Aided Material Engineering.”

“To us, innovation is not a stand-alone concept. Generating ideas and solutions for complex challenges requires tight connections with academia and industry. We joined InterPore, because it helps fuel cooperation and discussions, across disciplines.”

“Shell’s interests in porous media flows are very broad ranging from fundamental aspects of single and multiphase flow to complex processes relevant to enhanced oil recovery. We seek to complement our strong in-house R&D capabilities through active partnering and Open Innovation schemes. Especially in the Netherlands, there are many groups doing excellent research in porous media flows and InterPore helps us to get connected more closely to these experts.”
