Education:
Ph. D. Polymer Chemistry, Oxford BrookesUniversity United Kingdom
Diplom-Chemiker: University of Paderborn, Germany

Research Interests:
Dr. Iglauer's research interests include evaluation of sealed joint durability, mechanical and surface analysis of polymer foams and the understanding of foam-sealant adhesion. Dr. Iglauer's research in PEER involves the oilfield applications of chemicals, including surfactants and polymers to control water production and improve oil and gas recovery. Results from this work can significantly lower oil production costs, thereby providing large cost savings for the oil industry and an increase in economically recoverable energy resources.
