Bio
Through inter-disciplinary academic activities, which combine the sciences and the humanities, I acquired a knowledge base spanning areas such as biology (especially genetics), anthropology, archaeology, statistics, and history. This experience combined with solid language skills in English, Hungarian and German, have prepared me to complete translation projects of a scientific, medical or technical nature as well as those of a literary or more general focus. I have also completed several translations from Italian to English of administrative documents as well as articles in my own field of research. a word on languages... Hungarian is my native tongue having been raised in Hungary until fourteen years of age. My education, beginning with secondary school and followed by undergraduate and graduate studies, was carried out in English. As such, I consider myself to be bilingual with English as my "best" language. Thus, it is also the target language for translation projects. Exposure to German began at an early age through lessons in Hungary, and was continued during an extended visit to Germany as a secondary school student. I completed my PhD at the University of Zurich in Switzerland. Over the course of eight years of living there my command of the language deepened further. I learnt Italian during three years (2001-2004) of working as a post-doctoral fellow in Italy. So this is my newest language and I am still working on improving it. a selection of projects...
