Scientific Writer & Environmental Engineer | Wastewater, Biotechnology, Peer-reviewed publications

Profile Summary

I am a PhD in Environmental Engineering with strong experience in environmental biotechnology, anaerobic processes, wastewater treatment, and bioenergy production. My research has focused on biological processes for waste valorization, microbial communities, and experimental design, resulting in 10+ peer-reviewed publications in international journals. I have extensive experience in scientific writing, technical reports, literature reviews, and manuscript preparation for high-impact journals. I have also served as an invited peer reviewer for indexed journals, evaluating manuscripts and preparing detailed review reports according to journal standards. My professional experience includes academic research, consulting projects in water resources planning, and preparation of scientific and technical documentation for environmental and engineering projects. I can assist with: • Scientific and technical writing • White papers and technical reports • Literature reviews and research support • Environmental and wastewater engineering projects • Academic editing and proofreading • Data analysis and interpretation I am detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to delivering high-quality work within deadlines. I am interested in collaborating on research, consulting, and technical writing projects related to environmental engineering, biotechnology, and water treatment.
