Program Description:
Instabilities in porous media are key to many environmental and engineering challenges. This research program will bring together Australian and international experts from a broad range of backgrounds to tackle these applied mathematical problems. The first week will consist of a lecture series by the five invited experts. A prominent feature of the program will be the participating graduate researchers. They will be encouraged to interact closely with the speakers during the first week, which will highlight and expound some of the major open questions in the mathematical modelling of instabilities in porous media. The remaining two weeks of the program will focus on short research projects carried out by graduate researchers with intensive supervision by the academics. The aims are to make significant research progress, launch fruitful collaborations and potentially set up future international postdoctoral positions for the graduate researchers.
