Areas of Specialization

Critical Cleaning processes used in the aerospace, medical, industrial, and electronics industries.

Experience

Gavin joined the Stoner Team 8 years ago as an intern on our R&D team. During his time in the lab, Gavin spent most of his time on product development, improving current products, or helping navigate supply chain disruptions. In the summer of 2022, Gavin joined our sales team to spend more time doing his favorite part of the job—working with customers. After a year in our Plastics market and learning more about that customer base, Gavin switched to our Critical Cleaning market. His R&D experience has been a good fit for this technical market.

About Gavin

Gavin enjoys working with customers to solve problems. His goal is to help make your day-to-day operations run more smoothly, and his time in the lab allows him to bring technical expertise into the Product Manager role. As an ardent runner, he understands the importance of working hard to save time!

Areas of Specialization

Critical cleaning,rubber/tire molding,surface chemistry,chemical and process engineering.

Experience

Matt received his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from UC Santa Barbara and his Ph.D. in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering from the University of Delaware. He has performed research in a number of key areas including soft matter,microfluidics,and heterogeneous catalysis. During his Ph.D.,he worked in the Catalysis Center for Energy Innovation performing research in a variety of topics in energy,heterogeneous catalysis,and surface chemistry. In doing so,he developed and employed analytical tools to understand underlying reaction mechanisms at solid-liquid interfaces and to subsequently design high performance processes. Matt’s success has resulted in 11 published research articles(9 first-author) in high-impact scientific journals as well as a provisional patent.

About Matt

I enjoy solving problems and strive to meet customer’s needs through my experience in troubleshooting and my working knowledge of chemistry,engineering,and the interface between them. I continue to build upon my technical knowledge within the mold release industry,harnessing it to develop improved products and processes. I am moreover committed to the health and safety of Stoner’s customers and have contributed to the formulation of safer and more reliable cleaners and coatings.
