One person who is one hundred percent invested in you.

Dr. Eric Wolfson earned his PhD in Organic Chemistry from The Ohio State University in 2021, working in the McGrier lab on covalent organic frameworks for energy storage and catalysis. He earned his B.S. in Chemistry, Cum Laude, from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) in 2015. His research has been published in Journal of the American Chemical Society, Chemical Society Reviews, Molecular Systems Design and Engineering, and ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. His 2020 Chem. Soc. Rev. review on the photophysical properties of covalent organic frameworks remains his most-cited work.

After completing his PhD, Dr. Wolfson spent the next four-and-a-half years as an industrial chemist across three companies and three very different problem spaces. He started as a Senior Scientist at DuPont's Electronics & Imaging division, designing photoresist molecules for ultra-high-resolution lithography. He then moved to Franklin International as a Product Development Chemist developing wood adhesives, where he led a project that took a new product platform from ideation to commercialization in under five months. Most recently he served as a Sr. Product Development Chemist at Adhesives Research, leading next-generation skin-adhesive R&D for medical-grade long-term wear applications. Across those roles he sat on hiring panels, mentored junior scientists, and saw firsthand what makes a science career work, the kind of perspective most academic coaches simply do not have.

That breadth is the foundation of My Chem Mentor. Today, Dr. Wolfson works with chemistry, STEM, and pre-health students, including those on the pre-med, pre-vet, pre-pharmacy, pre-dental, and pre-optometry tracks, from OSU, UMBC, Rutgers, Columbia, and Johns Hopkins, with nearly a decade of one-on-one and group instruction behind him: graduate teaching at OSU, eight years of private tutoring, and ongoing coaching through MCM. He also gives back to the broader STEM community through outreach engagements: so far in 2026 he has served as a guest speaker at Johns Hopkins, hosting workshops to help develop professional skills such as reading scientific literature. He also has served as a Science Olympiad (Dynamic Planet) judge/grader at UMBC. Both efforts were aimed at supporting the next generation of scientists. Together, the profile is a rare one in chemistry education: equal parts published researcher, working industrial chemist, and dedicated coach.
