Advisor: Kenneth Suslick

Below are quotes from Chemical & Engineering News, "C&EN Talks with Margaret Kosal: Chemist applies her science and entrepreneurial know-how to solve real-world security problems," 82(50): 26 (2004).

"Margaret E. Kosal has packed a lot into 31 years. She holds a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where she invented a new family of catalytically active organic zeolites. On the way to a postdoc position in France, she made a U-turn: With her research adviser Kenneth S. Suslick and two others, she founded in 2000 a high-tech sensor development company called ChemSensing."

"She has since pursued what she calls technical security problems, first as a postdoctoral fellow and adjunct professor at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, and now as a science fellow at Stanford University's Center for International Security & Cooperation. At both institutions, she has concentrated on what she calls "the intersection between emerging science and domestic and international policy issues."
