In 2018, Jun Yao assumed a leadership role, successfully securing the right to organize the 2020 InterPore Annual Conference. Despite the challenges posed by the New Crown epidemic, Jun Yao played a pivotal role as the Regional Organizing Committee Chair in orchestrating the first-ever online annual meeting in 2020. As the chairman of the local organizing committee, Jun Yao successfully organized the 2024 InterPore Annual Conference.
Jun Yao's involvement with InterPore dates back to the 2008 Annual Conference, where he led a group of Chinese scholars, marking the inaugural participation of Chinese scholars in InterPore events. Since then, Jun Yao has been dedicated to promoting and disseminating InterPore in China. The number of Chinese scholars attending the annual conference has consistently risen, solidifying China's position as a country with a significant and growing participant base. Jun Yao took a pioneering step by establishing the InterPore China Chapter in 2017 and serving as the Chapter Chair for six years. Under his leadership, six Chapter Annual Meetings were organized, and he curated over 10 sessions for the InterPore annual conference, making substantial contributions to InterPore's development in China.
As the head of the Specialized Group on Flow Mechanics in Porous Media of the Chinese Mechanics Society, Jun Yao has actively engaged in the domestic Specialized Group's activities for over a decade. He organized five national conferences on Flow Mechanics in Porous Media, playing a crucial role in advancing this field in China. Furthermore, Jun Yao's financial support and organization of six international workshops on digital core analysis technology have significantly contributed to the widespread adoption of this technology in China.
Jun Yao's extensive involvement in both national and international arenas reflects his commitment to advancing research and collaboration in the field of porous media flow mechanics.
