... after a career spanning more than 37 years. Since retiring, she has become an adjunct professor at San Jose State University and has been the primary instructor for the American Chemical Society/Department of Energy Summer School in Nuclear Chemistry, an intensive 6-week undergraduate fellowship program designed to introduce nuclear and radiochemical concepts to outstanding upper-level undergraduate science and engineering majors, and to stimulate their interest in pursuing graduate studies in the field.

... For 23 years, he served as technical manager, overseeing technology development for the back end of the commercial nuclear fuel cycle. The focus of this work was on long-term storage and transportation of spent nuclear fuel, aspects of which included materials degradation of fuel cladding, response of storage and transportation packages to severe mechanical and thermal environments, safeguards and security of nuclear materials, systems analyses, and regulatory analyses.

... Kosti was a postdoctoral fellow at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC, where she conducted research on biomarker development for early cancer detection using case-control epidemiological study designs. She focused primarily on prostate, breast, and liver cancers, trying to identify those individuals who are at high risk of developing malignancies.
