Kerry L. Cogen, Ph.D.
​Lead Technologist
​Infineum USA L.P.

​Kerry Cogen received her Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley, studying weakly bound molecular clusters. Prior to joining Infineum, Kerry worked at ExxonMobil Research & Engineering, studying reaction chemistry in an internal combustion engine. Since joining Infineum in 2004, Kerry has worked as a research technologist in the Power Transmission Fluids Group focusing on understanding how lubricants protect surfaces and control friction in the transmission. She is an expert in microscopy and surface analysis techniques. She has contributed to the development of several test methods for assessing lubricant performance. She enjoys sharing her skills and experience with younger colleagues and has been a mentor to many student co-ops. Her work has afforded her the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues around the world. She has served as a technical expert for several Japanese projects and has been fortunate to travel there many times enjoying the food, the people and the language. She has also led a collaboration with the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Labs and has presented several industry talks. Kerry holds two patents and has authored 23 scientific articles. Kerry has been married for 32 years to Jeffrey Cogen, a senior research fellow at Dow Chemical. They have raised three beautiful children. Kerry enjoys spending her spare time cooking, listening to music and quilting and is an active member of her local quilt guild. She made and donated over 350 Covid-19 masks and participates in her guild’s outreach projects.
