With English as my mother tongue and holding a doctorate in Geology from Oxford University, I offer my professional services as a translator from French into English in a variety of scientific and technical fields.

My specialities include the earth sciences (geology, oceanography), the agri-food sector, the environment ( radio-ecology) and petroleum exploration (geophysics). I have recently diversified towards nuclear medecine and archeology.
I carry out checking of the grammar, spelling and style of scientific articles intended for publication in English.
As a freelance service provider to the European Commission, I have gained extensive experience in the post-editing of raw machine translation output.
Working as a terminologist, I compile and edit glossaries of technical terms for use in specialized fields, for example: geology, electrical and automatic systems engineering ; analytical biochemistry ; hydrogeology ; soil science.
I am the designer and developer of a bilingual database particularly adapted to the needs of translators and researchers in the earth sciences (distributor: ELDA, 55-57 rue Brillat-Savarin 75013 PARIS)
