Maggie Gosselin

Maggie Gosselin is a highly accomplished inorganic chemist and engineering leader whose career reflects a sustained commitment to scientific rigor, creative problem-solving, and the advancement of sustainable technologies, particularly in the field of carbon capture and porous materials. She currently serves as Engineering and Technology Manager at Mosaic Materials, a Baker Hughes company, where she oversees the development and deployment of solid sorbent technologies based on metal-organic frameworks and related porous materials. In this role, she guides projects from bench-scale research through pilot development and toward commercial implementation, while also managing supply logistics, project planning, and health and safety compliance. Over more than four years at Mosaic Materials, she has progressed from Scientist to Manufacturing R&D Lead and ultimately to a senior leadership position, demonstrating both technical excellence and an ability to lead multidisciplinary teams in fast-paced, innovation-driven environments. Her work integrates chemistry, engineering, and manufacturing principles, and she is known for applying lean manufacturing strategies and fostering a culture of operational excellence, collaboration, and continuous improvement while tackling complex technical challenges related to emissions reduction and sustainable industrial processes.

Prior to her industrial career, Gosselin completed her doctoral studies in inorganic chemistry at the University of Delaware under the supervision of Professor Eric Bloch, where her research focused on the design, synthesis, and characterization of novel permanently porous materials with an emphasis on porous coordination cages and metal-organic frameworks. Her work significantly expanded the library of first-row transition metal–based porous materials by incorporating iron(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II), and demonstrated how precise ligand functionalization could be used to control phase behavior and enable the phase-pure isolation of either discrete cages or higher-dimensional frameworks. Through extensive use of advanced characterization techniques, including low- and high-pressure gas adsorption, powder X-ray diffraction, and powder neutron diffraction, she identified preferential gas binding sites and adsorption behavior for small molecules such as hydrogen, methane, and C2 hydrocarbons. She also investigated zirconium-based coordination cages and pioneered a combinatorial strategy using charged porous coordination cages to generate porous salts, a novel class of porous solids with near-limitless tunability that was reported in a high-impact publication in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Across her graduate career, she authored seven first-author publications out of a total of ten peer-reviewed papers and presented her research at local and national scientific meetings, reflecting both intellectual independence and strong scientific communication skills.

In addition to her doctoral research, Gosselin was selected as a recipient of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Science Graduate Student Research program, which allowed her to conduct independent research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Molecular Foundry under the mentorship of Dr. Brett Helms, further strengthening her expertise in charged coordination cage–based porous materials within a national laboratory setting. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Susquehanna University, where she conducted undergraduate research on electron transfer processes in photosystem I using techniques such as transient EPR spectroscopy, HPLC, and pump–probe laser spectroscopy, while also developing leadership skills through roles in event management and student organizations. Across all stages of her career, Maggie Gosselin has demonstrated a consistent ability to bridge fundamental research with real-world application, combining technical depth with team leadership, strategic planning, and a strong commitment to sustainability. Her professional trajectory reflects a broader dedication to advancing material science solutions that address climate change and industrial emissions, positioning her as a scientist-engineer who operates effectively at the intersection of discovery, scale-up, and societal impact.
