I am a Senior Research Fellow in geophysics at Victoria University of Wellington, with extensive experience in publishing, supervising postgraduate research, and reviewing scientific work at MSc, PhD, and journal level.
I work with postgraduate students, researchers, and industry clients who need high-level, expert input on scientific writing, presentation, analysis, and research design, particularly in the final stages before submission or publication.
My approach goes beyond proofreading. I provide structured mentorship and critical feedback similar to what you would receive from a supervisor, reviewer, or examiner, helping you to:
Clarify your argument and strengthen the overall narrative
Improve structure, coherence, and scientific rigour
Identify gaps in logic, methodology, or interpretation
Refine figures, results presentation, and discussion
Prepare work for thesis submission or journal review
My goal is to provide clear, actionable feedback that raises the quality of your work to publication or examination standard. If you're looking for thoughtful, rigorous input from an active and experienced academic, I’d be happy to discuss your project.
