One of Professor Ray's main areas of work is multi-scale modeling. She cooperates with geoscientists to find out more about the composition and structure of soils. “The microstructure of the soil has a direct influence on its macroscopic behavior. One focus of my work is therefore to build bridges between these two scales,” explains Professor Ray. As the composition of soils is not static, but constantly changing, this places particular demands on multi-scale modeling of issues in this area. Soil plays an important role in questions of energy, sustainability, climate and the environment - as a reservoir for water and carbon and as a habitat for microorganisms. For example, multiscale modeling provides the basis for simulating the absorption of water and nutrients by roots as well as ideal living conditions for microorganisms - also as a basis of knowledge for combating hunger.

German Chapter of the InterPore

This year the meeting of the German Chapter of the InterPore was held at KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt on September 13-14, 2023. The meeting was organized at the Mathematical Institute for Machine Learning and Data Science (MIDS) by the chair of Geomatics and Geomathematics.
Around 30 researchers, PhD students, and professors participated in the two-day meeting. In addition to the two invited talks (see below), a total of 20 presentations were given on a wide range of research areas in the field of porous media ranging from experiment to theory and from science to industrial application.
During the coffee breaks and the dinner there were opportunities for exchanging ideas and deeper discussions.

The two invited speakers and their presentations are listed below:

Carina Bringedal (Western Norway University of Applied Sciences): Analysis and simulations of evaporation-driven density instabilities in porous media
Sergey Oladyshkin (University of Stuttgart, Institute for Water and Environmental Systems Modeling): Physics-Aware Neural Networks for uncovering unknown processes and leveraging the significance of Homogeneous Chaos Theory for learning
