Rainer Helmig, third Magne Espedal Honorary Professor of the University of Bergen, will give his first lecture in the context of The Horizon Lecture Series on April 30, entitled: “From energy storage in subsurface systems to flow processes in the brain: porous media are (almost) everywhere”. The lecture series is organized by the The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the University of Bergen.
Date: April 30, 2019
Time: 16.15 pm
Place: The Student Centre, Parkveien 1, Egget auditorium
Lecture title: "From energy storage in subsurface systems to flow processes in the brain: porous media are (almost) everywhere"
The aim of his talk is to present and discuss relevant model concepts for flow and transport processes for environmental, technical and biological systems, showing – with selected examples from the brain to energy storage – similarities between these various concepts.
In 2019, Professor Helmig was appointed to Honorary Professor at the University of Bergen. The professorship is a joint venture between the Porous Media Group (UiB) and DEA Norge.
