Short Course Series: Mathematics of Porous Media

During the winter 2020-21 the Porous Media Group at the University of Bergen will organize a series of short courses on topics related to the mathematics of porous media. The lecturers are world leading researchers within their fields.

Each topic will be covered in three two-hour lectures. The lectures will be given via Zoom, and will be held on Fridays 2-4PM (CET).

Lecture notes and recordings

Lecture notes for the first two lectures are available on the pages of the individual courses; notes for future lectures will also be posted there if the lecturer chooses to make them available.

Recordings of the lectures will (for the moment) not be made available. We have attendees from 20+ countries, each with their own set of laws and customs, and we do not want to run afoul of these. If recordings are made of the lectures, these are for archival purposes only. Should we choose to change this policy, an update will be posted here.

How to participate

Send an email to Eirik.Keilegavlen@uib.no, with name, institution and email address. The email should be linked to the Zoom account you will use to access the meeting. Login information for the individual lectures will be sent out no later than lunchtime at the Friday of the lecture.

UPDATE, NOVEMBER 6: It is still possible to register, however, if we receive the registration late in the week, we may not process this until the week after. People who have not registered may not be allowed to attend the lectures.
