Naomi Clayman, Ph.D. (Stanford, 2019 - Waymouth Lab) | Senior Managing Scientist, Polymers & Chemistry
Dr. Clayman consults on a wide variety of proactive and reactive matters related to the chemistry of polymers and materials. Trained as a chemist, Dr. Clayman leverages her knowledge of chemistry and polymer science in projects related to medical devices, consumer electronics, pharmaceuticals, contamination analysis, and material compatibility. She has assisted clients with materials specifications, formulation changes, product safety assessments, end-use testing, and failure analysis. [full bio here]
Daniel Marron, Ph.D. (Stanford, 2024 - Waymouth Lab) | Scientist, Polymers & Chemistry
Dr. Marron is a chemist with broad experience in leveraging the analysis of molecular species to degradation, and contamination. His analytical skills include inform the mechanisms of macroscopic phenomena such as catalysis, material synthesis, high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), MS coupled to liquid and gas chromatography (LC-MS, GC-MS), and structural determination by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Additionally, he is proficient with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and UV-visible spectroscopies. [full bio here]
