Jan Martin Nordbotten awarded InterPore Medal for porous media research

Jan Martin Nordbotten has received the InterPore medal for porous media research due to his work on mathematical modeling, analysis, and numerical simulations, with a special focus on problems encountered in porous media. He has focused particularly on CO2 sequestration and energy storage in the subsurface and on biomechanical applications.

From the InterPore newsletter:

"Professor Jan Nordbotten is well-recognized as one of the leading experts in mathematical modelling and numerical simulation in connection with porous media applications. He earned his degree from the University of Bergen at 21 years old, becoming the youngest ever to obtain a Doctorate degree in Norway. He later became a Full Professor in Applied Mathematics at the age of 27.  He has an extensive record of outreach and service all over the world and has made substantial contributions on relevant fields connected to porous media research."
