  "abstract": "We propose a lattice model to simulate the influence of porous medium on the Nematic - Isotropic transition of liquid crystal confined to the pores. The effects of pore size and pore connectivity are modelled through a disorder parameter. Monte Carlo calculations based on the model leads to results that compare well with experiments.",
