InterPore2024: Registration Still Open for Conference Courses

There is still time to register for our Conference Courses at InterPore2024!

On Sunday, 12 May, Majid Hassanizadeh (Utrecht University) will present a half-day course on the topic of “Capillarity in Porous Media at Different Scales.” In the course, a systematic approach is taken to the understanding of capillarity in porous media at different scales. Current definitions of capillary pressure, which are mostly empirical in nature are revisited and it is shown that they are special cases of a more general theory of capillarity. Course topics will include: Capillarity at pore scale, capillarity at macroscale; fundamentals, and capillarity at macroscale; computational and experimental studies.

Also on Sunday, 12 May, Saeid Sadeghnejad (Applied Geology, Institute for Geosciences, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena) will lead a half-day course on “Machine learning integration with pore-scale studies: concepts and applications.” This course investigates the synergy between machine learning techniques and digital rock physics (DRP) workflow, offering a comprehensive exploration of concepts and applications. The implementation of deep learning is showcased across various applications at the pore scale, encompassing image segmentation (e.g., two-phase (pore-solid) or multimineral segmentation), rock property estimation (regression of single or multiphase properties), image resolution enhancement, and porous media reconstruction. Participants in this course not only gain proficiency in the DRP workflow but also acquire a thorough understanding of the diverse applications of machine learning within this framework.

Course space is limited. If you are interested in registering for one of these courses, you may do so in conjunction with your conference registration.

If you have already registered and wish to update your registration, please contact Margaret Dieter.
