 I have served as a freelance editor for inaugural for about three years. I hold a doctorate in theoretical astrophysics from a major U.S. research university. I served as a faculty member at another prominent U.S. university for about three decades, and after that I served as a science administrator at a federal agency for another dozen years. During the course of my career, I have published more than 100 technical articles in peer reviewed journals, supervised the PhD thesis research of more than a dozen graduate students, co-edited several conference proceedings, and published three single author books. In consequence, I have decades of experience in preparing manuscripts for English language technical journals. I have also served as a reviewer for professional technical journals and for funding agencies as well. My primary area of expertise is astronomy and astrophysics, especially in the area of stellar astrophysics and in the properties of extremely dense matter. I also have some experience with fluid dynamics, magneto-hydrodynamics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, and inertial confinement fusion.
