Hereโs a look at the presenter line-up:
Nancy Diggs, Infineum
With over 19 years in industrial R&D, Nancy specializes in colloidal and interfacial science and has led cross-functional teams through the full development cycle of engine lubricant product lines โ from benchtop chemistry through scale-up to plant.
Christopher Cleveland, Afton Chemical Corporation
Chris brings deep expertise in surfactants and applied lubricant chemistry, with a career grounded in materials science, technical support, and the applied chemistry of surfactants, polymers, and plastics.
Gareth Moody, Cargill
With 14 years of experience with automotive applications, Garethโs main areas of focus are friction modifiers and ester base oils for engine oil and transmission applications with a goal of improving fuel economy and energy efficiency.
Justin Langston, Evonik
A polymer chemist and materials scientist with a genuine enthusiasm for troubleshooting complex problems and engineering practical solutions, Justin has spent nearly two decades developing lubricant additives.
Ramoun Mourhatch, Chevron Oronite
A tribologist and materials scientist, Ramoun works at the intersection of lubricant formulation, engine tribology, and failure analysis, including root cause analysis of engines and transmissions and technology development for automotive engine oil formulations.
Ross Totsch, Nelson Brothers
A chemist whose career spans research and specialty chemical development, Ross currently leads technical development across both the metalworking fluids and oil & gas application areas.
AJ Bedwell, NSF International
With nearly a decade at NSF International, AJ brings a compliance- and quality-focused perspective to lubricant additive topics โ covering auditing, toxicology review, laboratory testing, and risk management. Her work bridges the regulatory and technical sides of the industry in ways that are increasingly relevant to formulators navigating today's requirements.
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from professionals across the additive supply chain in an open, cross-industry format designed for substantive conversation.
