The Fourth Biot Conference on Poromechanics
will be held at Columbia
University
in 2009. Columbia
University
was the home for Maurice A. Biot during the period from 1937-1945.
Maurice
Biot, who was affiliated with the Department of Physics, had very close
interaction with the colleagues in the Department of Civil Engineering,
such as
Prof. Raymond D. Mindlin.
The
Fourth Biot
Conference will also emphasize on the theories and applications of
poromechanics to new and emerging fields, including life science, earth
science, and new materials, in addition to the traditional areas of
poromechanics such as geotechnical engineering, petroleum engineering,
acoustics, etc.
New
York City.
In addition to
the historic links between Biot and Columbia University, New
York
City has many well known attractions that are especially appealing for
international participants. It is easily accessible from all over the
world
through three international airports: JFK, Newark Liberty and LaGuadia.
Its
public transportation system, including the subways and buses, is well
developed. Columbia
University is
easily
accessible from mid-town by subway in about 15 minutes. More
details about accommodation, including university housing, will be
provided.
