✎ My name is Javier Grande, I am from Spain and I am a freelance translator since 2011 (DipTransIoLET since 2015).

✎ I also have a Ph.D. in Physics (University of Barcelona, Spain, 2010) and extensive research experience, with 10 articles published in peer-reviewed journals). This background lead me to specialize in scientific and technical translation, even though I work in other fields too.

✎ I translate from English1 and German2 into Spanish3 and Catalan4:

Catalan → Spanish (es-ES) Spanish → Catalan

✎ I provide the following services:

Translation Transcription
Website & software localization Proofreading (es-ES, ca-ES)
Copy-editing Programming & web design

✎ And these are my main working fields5:

Science (general) Environment & Ecology
Engineering (general) Biology
Physics Zoology
Astronomy & Space Computers & Internet
Mathematics & Statistics Marketing & e-Commerce
Chemistry Tourism & travel

✎ Some of my past translation projects5:

● 13 articles published in the magazine Investigación y Ciencia (Spanish translation of journals like Scientific American or Spektrum der Wissenschaft)
● A mathematics textbook published by the University of Barcelona
● Translations for 2 websites (#1 and #2)
● More than 70,000 words translated in oDesk

✎ And some of my previous experience:

2013-Present Graphics and copy-editor for Mathematical Sciences Publishers
2011-2013 High school teacher (Mathematics & Physics) at Msongola Secondary School (Dar es Salaam, Tanzania)
2009-2011 Teaching & research assistant at the University of Barcelona, Spain (~200 hours of teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels)
2010 Research assistant at Co.S.Mo.LAB, Parc Científic de Barcelona (4-month project related to Biophysics)
2009 Research visit to the Institute for Theoretical Physics (Institut für Theoretische Physik), University of Heidelberg, Germany (4 months)
2007-2009 Ph.D. fellow, University of Barcelona

✎ Finally, here is my education:

2015 Diploma in Translation, IoLET (2 of the 3 units awarded with Distinction)
2010 Ph.D. in Physics. Thesis awarded with the highest grade (Excelente cum laude) and the Doctor Europeus mention
2010 Pre-service course for teachers of Spanish as a foreign language. International House & IL3 - University of Barcelona
