Laurence Edward "Skip" Scriven (1931 – 2007) was an American chemical engineer, educator, and a regents professor in the department of chemical engineering and materials science at the University of Minnesota. He achieved numerous breakthroughs in the fields of fluid mechanics, capillary hydrodynamics, coating flows, and microscopy. His contributions to chemical engineering have been internationally recognized, and he was elected fellow of the National Academy of Engineering (1978), American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1991), and American Institute of Chemical Engineers.[1][2][3][4] Scriven was awarded the Josiah Willard Gibbs Lectureship organized by the American Mathematical Society in 1986.[5] Prior to his academic career, he published works related to bubbles and surface flows while he was employed by the Shell Development Company in Emeryville, California.[6]
