Evaluation System for Water Resources Planning and to develop theory, methods, and tools to inform
sustainability decision-making.

Initiating and leading pollution prevention initiatives at the Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Science
(an industry membership organization) that received the Ohio Governor’s Pollution Prevention Award in
1998 recognizing success helping companies identify cost-effective methods of eliminating millions of
pounds of waste and reducing water consumption.

Facilitating multistate habitat enhancement and protection planning by the Gulf of Mexico Program (EPA);
Arizona Governor’s water sustainability strategic planning; and the EPA 2004 Targeted Watershed Grants
Recipients Conference; serving as an appointed advisor to the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Council of
Governments Land Use Commission (OKI) and facilitating small groups of policy-makers during OKI’s
multi-year strategic planning and policy development initiative.

Modeling of complex interactions between public policy dynamics and the functioning of natural systems
as part of Committee Degree supported by Miami University business, political science and public
administration, and botany departments.

Principal Investigator analyzing the impact of markets, economics and technologies on the

Relevant Experience
Program Manager, Battelle Memorial Institute. Dr. Stone secures and leads projects at the interface of science,
economics, and policy in environmental and energy areas. Dr. Stone's breadth of academic expertise and professional
experience in biology, chemistry, ecology, economics, sustainability, marketing, public policy, and business
management provide important skills in evaluating complex social-ecological systems. Dr. Stone’s recent projects
include: principle investigator on a DOE project to analyze hydrogen fuel cell technologies, markets, economics, and
environmental impacts; developer of the economics charge questions to guide external peer review in support of the
Water Resource Development Act (Public Law 110-114) for several major US Army Corps of Engineer projects;
facilitator of the decision process to select optimal technologies to decommission a nuclear gaseous diffusion plant;
evaluating efficacy of decontamination technologies for inactivating chemical or biological agents; evaluating
Cincinnati regional emergency preparedness for natural and terrorist disaster response; and facilitating multistate
habitat enhancement and protection planning by the Gulf of Mexico Program (EPA), development of consensus of
sustainability indicators for Cincinnati (60 organization collaboration), Arizona Governor’s water sustainability
strategic planning, and the EPA 2004 Targeted Watershed Grants Recipients Conference. Led Battelle’s internal
research project entitled, “Development of Theory, Methods, and Tools to Provide Policy-Relevant Knowledge of
Sustainability Indicators and Projected Outcomes.” Dr. Stone holds a Secret Clearance.
Visiting Professor, Miami University. Dr. Stone teaches courses at the undergraduate-level in environmental biology
and natural resources that integrate science, economics, sociology, and policy in the departments of Zoology,
Geography, and Botany.
Adjunct Faculty, Central State University and Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. Dr. Stone
taught undergraduate courses on lake and stream ecology and on environmental science as temporary faculty.
Manager, Cincinnati Operations, (Battelle) Environmental Technology Commercialization Center. Dr. Stone led
and managed a team that facilitated technology transfer of environmental technologies for the USEPA. The range of
technologies included base catalyzed decomposition for PCB remediation; biomass concentrator reactor for waste
water treatment; PCR primers for identifying Stachybotrys chartarum (Black Mold) and other molds; and
microbiological media for distinguishing Escherichia. coli from other coliforms. Facilitation included technology
screening and detailed market analysis; identification of potential partners; and facilitating licenses and Cooperative
Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) agreements between USEPA and industry partners. Dr. Stone was
project manager for the establishment of the National Environmental Technology Incubator at Central State University,
and for National Business Plan Competitions.
Vice President of Operations, Institute of Advanced Manufacturing Sciences (IAMS) (now TechSolve). Dr. Stone
held profit and loss responsibility for environmental and pollution prevention consulting, manufacturing and machining
efficiency consulting, membership services, and training services. During Dr. Stone’s tenure industrial membership
grew from about two-dozen to more than 200 companies. The Governor’s Pollution Prevention Award was received in
1998 recognizing success at identification of cost-effective methods of eliminating millions of pounds of waste, the
presentation of pollution prevention concepts to thousands of people, and development of a web-based pollution
prevention information system. Dr. Stone served as founding director of: the Center for Applied Environmental
Technology: designated by Ohio’s Governor as lead organization providing environmental assistance to regional
industry; the Ohio Pollution Prevention Technical Assistance Program (funded by USEPA through Ohio EPA) that
established a pilot hazardous waste minimization technical assistance program for Ohio industry; and IAMS
Manufacturing Extension Center and IAMS Manufacturing Small Business Development Center (funded by NIST,
Ohio Department of Development, SBA, and industry).
Vice President Operations and Chief Operating Officer, Kemtec Educational Corporation. Dr. Stone
successfully relocated a 30-year old laboratory supply company within three months of taking charge; hired and
trained new crew; and set a sales record in his first year. In addition to profit and loss responsibility, Dr. Stone
served as the technical lead for development and commercialization of new prepared laboratory exercises for science
education. The company’s 250 products ranged from kits for making a simple microscope to use of phage and
plasmid vectors for genetic engineering.
Chemistry Department Head and Microbiological Media Department Head, Carolina Biological Supply
Company. Dr. Stone held profit and loss responsibility for chemical formulation, packaging, marketing, and
international distribution of 2,500 chemical and media products. He ensured corporate compliance with EPA,
OSHA, FDA, ATF, DOT and CPSC chemical regulations. Dr. Stone introduced a variety of pollution prevention
initiatives that substantially reduced waste and expenses. Dr. Stone led mature departments to greater than 10%
average annual sales increases, with 16% or higher pre-tax profits. This included development and launch of more
than two-dozen products. His development of a formaldehyde-free preservative increased the Departmental profits
by 7%.
