About Me

Paper Clinic: A Journey of Passion for Science and Editing

My Story: From Chemistry Olympiads to Editing

My journey in the scientific world began as an eager school student participating in various chemistry Olympiads. After emerging victorious at the 35th International Chemistry Olympiad in 2003, I was inspired to further my education at the University of Cambridge, one of Europe’s top universities.

Invaluable Experience: Industry and Academia

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with industry giants like GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Merck, and AstraZeneca, and academic institutions such as LMU Munich and Georg-August-University. These experiences allowed me to dive deep into organometallic chemistry, project management, quality control, and much more.

Diverse Roles: From Researcher to Consultant

Whether managing an R&D team for plastic packaging and hot melt adhesives in Europe or working on nanomaterial-based biosensors in the US, I’ve always enjoyed pushing the frontiers of scientific knowledge.

The Leap into Scientific Editing

In 2015, I found my calling as a freelance scientific editor at Cactus Communications. Here, I’ve been assisting Asian authors in preparing their manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed international journals. To date, I have edited 2500 manuscripts and have been chosen as a favorite editor by 120 clients.
