Profile Summary

I’m a PhD-trained biophysical chemist with extensive research experience at the University of Oxford and multiple first-author publications in top-tier journals. As a scientific editor and writer, I specialise in improving clarity, structure, and style in complex academic documents. My broad subject matter expertise spans biotechnology, soft matter physics, protein biophysics, cell biology, microscopy and a wide range of chemistry topics, allowing me to work confidently across interdisciplinary manuscripts. I offer thorough, publication-ready editing for journal articles, theses, and grant proposals — especially for researchers who need high-level input on scientific content as well as language.
