Bio
I have a degree in Chemical Engineering and a PhD in Hydrometallurgy. I came to the field of technical translations after a career that includes lecturing Chemistry, Materials and Metallurgy at the University in Mozambique, extensive R&D in the UK, Brazil, South Africa and the UK in the fields of Hydrometallurgy and Materials. In the UK I set up a pilot plant for GEC, for the hot pressing of NdFeB magnets, and managed a joint EU project on Materials.
Lecturing enabled me to develop my writing skills, to explain even the most difficult of concepts in a clear and simple way. My pursuit of accuracy developed through R&D, coupled with detailed subject knowledge, means that every project is thoroughly researched, adding a valuable dimension to my work.
I have excellent communication skills developed through a professional career in Africa, America and Europe, and sensitivity for the cultural differences and work ethics in these continents.
As a result of over 15 years’ experience of R&D in Hydrometallurgy and Materials Science working in universities, research institutes and industry, I have a thorough understanding of the technical challenges faced across many different fields in Science and Engineering. During my career I have developed innovative pilot work which led to the granting of a Patent.
