Dear DCOMP member,

We are excited to continue with the second event of our outreach initiative aimed at supporting early career researchers who are considering paths outside of academia.

This effort consists in a one-hour virtual “office hour” event featuring researchers who have successfully transitioned into careers in industry.

What to Expect:

Each session will spotlight two speakers who will share their journeys from academia to industry, discuss their current roles, and offer practical advice for navigating the transition. The sessions will also include open Q&A segments, giving attendees the opportunity to 
ask questions and gain candid insights into non-academic career paths. As part of the Office Hour series, we are hosting invited speakers from leading organizations including LIFT, Meta, Siemens, Cooley, Terray, NIST, and others.

The coming session is scheduled for August 11th, 2025 at 12 p.m. ET, and will host:

Giulia Biffi

Application Specialist in Siemens Digital Industries Software. Giulia works in R&D and her mansions include applications and software development, customer support, dissemination, and participation in research projects. Her background is in computational chemistry with expertise in photochemistry. She has worked on the multiscale modeling of all sorts of materials, from electrolytes for batteries, to vaccine formulations, from oil and gas to biopolymers.

John Kozlowski

Patent Agent at Cooley LLP. John is currently a legal professional registered with the U.S.P.T.O. to prepare, file, and prosecute patent applications on behalf of an inventor or a group of inventors.
