Bio

I am an Italian native, experienced technical and scientific translator extablished in 2006, working with full confidence in fields ranging from mathematics and physics, through biology and engineering, to electronics and software.

My language pairs are English to Italian, Spanish to Italian and French to Italian.
I have an advanced knowledge of all my source languages, which I constantly keep up and improve by means of practice and reading.

I have a Master's degree in Physics and I've been awarded a three years Ph.D. scholarship in Physics at the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris. In addition to the notions and skills I gained in my undergraduate and graduate studies, I pursue continuing professional development through high quality e-learning courses in a range of technical and scientific disciplines, all the while keeping myself up to date with recent developments through scientific journals and magazines.
