Are you a representative from an innovative start-up company, SME or public research institution/association active in computational chemistry or materials science applications, and are you looking for new ways to expand your R&D services and products and your overall visibility in the market? I can certainly help you with that! My name is Dr. Gabriele Mogni, and I am a freelance commercial and communication developer for materials science applications (you can read more about me on my LinkedIn profile).

​

I am already registered as an independent freelance consultant in my country of residence (Belgium), and therefore I am immediately available to collaborate with your company or institution remotely and on a flexible part-time project basis. In particular, I am available to work on any of the following roles:

​

​

- Support Scientist: I can produce written documentation, as well as video tutorials, for explaining your software or platform. You can find some examples of this type of work that I did for the Mat3ra materials discovery cloud platform under the following links: online documentation, and video tutorials. Furthermore, you can find some additional examples of outreach blog posts that I made for another similar start-up company called Virtual Lab Inc., that also develops a materials simulation cloud platform called Materials Square, under the following links:

​

• Example blog post 1: Mechanical Properties of Polymers

• Example blog post 2: Dielectric Properties of Polymers

• Example blog post 3: Viscoelastic properties of polymers

• Example blog post 4: Solubility of Polymers

​

​

- Social Media Marketing, Communication and Users Community-building: I can help conduct marketing and dissemination campaigns for advertising and communicating your product or services, and to find new clients and/or collaboration partners, thanks to my extensive networks of expert contacts in the world of scientific computing. I can do so in particular with the help of platforms such as LinkedIn and Facebook, where I administer several large specialized groups on computational science topics, with over 200,000 members in total. Being manager of such social media communities in fact allows me to greatly increase the visibility of any advertisement or announcement that is posted there, for example via the following functionalities: 

​

• Post a visual advertisement as a clearly visible main banner image on top of each social media group/page.

• Feature the main advertisement message as a pinned post at the top of each group/page, to keep it visible on top of all other regular posts.

• Include an advertisement footnote with relevant web links at the end of the exciting scientific news articles that I find and share regularly every day and in great numbers across the various communities, in order to keep them interesting, up-to-date and engaging. Please find an example of such regular news posts under the following link.

• Send special notifications and reminders of certain advertisement posts to all members of each group simultaneously, about once a week on average, using the LinkedIn and Facebook built-in notification functionalities available to group admins.

• Jump into relevant interactive discussions within chat communities associated with the main social media groups, via instant messaging apps such as Messenger and WhatsApp, thus encouraging members to ask questions and engage into dynamic conversations about any specialized product or service that may be of interest to them.

​

​​

- Webinars and Events: I can help your company or organization connect with the European materials and chemicals modelling community, via the organization and participation of events (online or in real life), such as workshops, meetings, webinars, conferences, video-calls, visits etc... In fact, I happen to be located in Brussels (Belgium), which is at the geographical center of a lively R&D ecosystem, especially in the field of electronic structure materials modeling (e.g. the SIESTA group in San Sebastian, Spain, the CASTEP group in Cambridge, UK, the ABINIT group in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, the VASP group in Vienna, Austria, the Quantum Espresso group in Trieste, Italy, the MARVEL group in Lausanne, Switzerland etc...) Many of these stakeholders in materials modeling are furthermore involved in the activities of the EMMC, of which I am also an active member, as well as in the European Network of Centers of Excellence in computational science applications. Finally, Brussels is home to numerous European Union institutions managing the EU's Horizon Europe research program (the world's largest single multi-annual budget for R&D of nearly 100 billion euros), including most notably the European Research Council and the European Innovation Council. Please visit also the CORDIS search engine to search through the list of ongoing EU Horizon projects.

​

 

- Technology Transfer: I can assist your institution in assessing the commercial potential and viability of your scientific computing ideas or academic research, based on my personal experience with the industrial applications and business plan development of various materials and molecular modelling initiatives. In case you have plans to create a spin-off company, I can thus potentially also participate as a co-founder, and help your new company to scale-up and increase its visibility in the market.

​​

Furthermore, in case you have any R&D project in mind that you would like to develop in partnership with external consultants and for which I'm not personally directly competent, I can rapidly reach out on your behalf to the numerous experts gathered within all the various specialized social media communities that I administer!
