Education and previous professional experience
1994 Ph. D. in Chemical Physics from the University of Paris XI (my thesis was written in French)
1989 Master’s Degree in Nuclear Physics from the University of Bucharest
During my twelve years experience as a researcher in Physics, I wrote scientific papers directly in French and English. My knowledge of the scientific and technical vocabulary in both languages is both wide and profound. I am also a person with a broad culture, including arts and history and thus very well qualified for translations in various areas such as environment, patents, education, films etc.
