Dr. Schramm has held five executive positions with progressively increasing levels of responsibility in the past six years, including President and CEO of the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC), Vice President of ARC, and President and CEO of PRI. He has over 25 years of R&D experience in colloid, interface, and petroleum science, has received major national awards for his research, and is best known for his basic and applied research involving petroleum industry applications of suspensions, emulsions, foams, and surfactants. He has substantial R&D management experience, remains an active full Adjunct Professor, and has taught academic and industrial courses in his field, both domestically and internationally. He holds 17 patents, has published seven books, over 300 other scientific publications and proprietary reports, and has given over 100 national and international, plenary, invited, and other scientific presentations. Many of his inventions have been adopted into commercial practice.

from Reviews of the Project Proposal:

"L.L. Schramm is an internationally reknown figure in colloid science, particularly for his contributions in the petroleum industry."
Dr. Susan M. Kutay, Unilever R&D Port Sunlight, UK

"Laurier Schramm is editor/author of several books and I am sure about the quality of a new one. His expertise in the present subject has been proofed in addition by a huge number of original publications. His capacity for the proposed book is without question."
Dr. Reinhard Miller, Nestlé Research Center, Switzerland

"The author is a well established senior scientist in surface chemistry.[...] He is well qualified for the job.[...] I know it will be a great book, and I look forward to see it finished."
Tor Austad, Stavanger University College, Norway

"His standing is very good with the "foam zones" he practices. No one I know works an all sub-fields of foam technology, each of us have special interests and zones of activity."
Dr. Paul A. Kittle, Concordville, USA
