The International Society for Porous Media (interpore) awarded a lifetime membership to Prof. Dr-Ing. Rainer Helmig, director of the Department of Hydromechanics and Modelling of Hydrosystems (IWS-LH²) of the Institute for Modelling Hydraulic and Environmental Systems (IWS) of the Faculty.
Prof. Helmig is an international leader in model development for complex porous media systems. He has published seminal modeling studies for a wide range of multi-phase, multi-component flow and transport systems with important applications to groundwater contamination, subsurface energy storage, carbon sequestration, and coupled porous- and free-flow systems.
He has also led major international efforts to promote porous media science, including his remarkable leadership of the international NUPUS program, and has set an exemplary standard for guiding and promoting young scientists.
Congratulations!
