Abstract
The exhibition "Pretty Porous - Alles Porös" makes the fascinating micro-world of porous media tangible with many examples: But how can one make reliable predictions about the physical, chemical or biological effects shown, when the structure of the porous solid can be arbitrarily complicated, changes permanently and is actually not even exactly known? Mathematics can help to bring out a lot of (almost) nothing. The lecture will highlight the role of mathematics in the field of porous media research and give an insight into how conversely real porous materials inspire mathematics.
About the speaker
Christian Rohde is the head of the Department for Applied Mathematics at the Institute of Applied Analysis and Numerical Simulation (IANS) at the University of Stuttgart. His research area is mathematical modelling, analysis and numerics for partial differential equations. In particular, his research focuses on applications in the field of fluid mechanics such as multi-phase flows, wave dynamics, phase transitions or interaction with electric or magnetic fields. Within SFB 1313 he focuses on the observation of fracture dynamics in porous media and the development of multi-scale methods for chemically reacting fluids.

Lecture Series
SFB 1313 organizes regular talks and project meetings with internal researchers, external partners and guests.
In 2021, SFB 1313 established the "Pretty Porous Science Lecture Series" (PPSL) with international invited guests.
Twice a year, SFB 1313 hosts the "Anneliese Niethammer Lecture Series". For this series, internationally renowned female scientists in the world of porous media are invited to present their current research. This event was founded by SFB 1313 to encourage young female scientists to pursue a career in science and serve as a platform for scientific exchange.
Workshops
SFB 1313 organises workshops to promote the collaboration between SFB members and international scientists working on various fields of research and applications areas.
Status Seminars
The status seminars organised by SFB 1313 take place once a year. They serve as a platform to promote SFB 1313 and to bring together the internal members, external partners and other scientists working on the research area of porous media. These meetings shall give an opportunity to exchange ideas and transfer know-how.
