Meet DSE's Editor

Hi, I’m Isidora Freris, independent editor and founder of Direct Scientific Editing (DSE)

I’m a native English speaker and a Ph.D. qualified scientist. I hold a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Chemical Sciences from Deakin University (Australia) and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Monash University (Australia). In 2007, I moved to Italy and undertook a post-doctoral research fellowship at Ca’Foscari University of Venice until 2013. My research focused on the development of nanostructured hybrid materials, particularly organic-inorganic core-shell hybrids and luminescent materials via sol-gel processing. I have published papers in international peer-reviewed journals, a book chapter, and contributed to a patent as a joint inventor. It was during my appointment as a post-doctoral researcher when I began offering my scientific English editing services to non-native English speaking academics, primarily assisting with the preparation of manuscripts. I maintain my skills up to date through regular attendance of academic writing courses, and I continue to live and work in Venice, Italy.

My aim is to ensure that your quality research contributions are not refused publication for inadequate language, by bringing the standard of English in your manuscript to its highest level.

Consider me a member of your research team. I will perfect your manuscript as if it were my own.

Isidora
