A forty year Research Odyssey

Abstract
My research training at the University of British Columbia under the gifted guidance of Dr. Norman Epstein who is now celebrating his 90th birthday had an extremely positive effect on my research career. My research journey had its own land marks that were much influenced by the training received as a graduate student. With my involvement in oil sands, the needs of scientific understanding of the unit operations of bitumen recovery have to a large extent affected my research direction. At each juncture of the journey, new learning was needed to engage in novel scientific endeavour to resolve operational challenges.
The presentation will deal with my various research activities over that last forty years. I will talk about the reasons why I decided to enter new research directions, acquire new learning and interact with colleagues and industry.
