Career

From 1952 into the 1970s,[7] Hogan was a research chemist at the Army's Clothing, Equipment, and Materials Engineering Laboratory in Natick, Massachusetts.[8] Her research involved textiles and their properties of repelling or absorbing environmental hazards in combat settings.[9] She "developed the analytical method for determining chrome content of feathers and down."[10] She was a member of the American Leather Chemists Association beginning in 1955.[11]

Publications

Professional publications by Hogan included articles in Textile Research Journal,[12] Journal of the American Leather Chemists Association,[13] [14] and Analytical Chemistry.[15]
