Bio
I have worked as data analyst, mathematician, scientist, and finally engineer and business entrepreneur for about 25 years, and have spoken and written French for 40 years or so. More background information can be found on my website www.tradique.eu.

My work over the years, both theoretical and experimental, has covered thermodynamics, hydrodynamics and aerodynamics; tribology and lubrication, heat transfer and electromagnetics; electronics, sensor design and mechanical engineering; mathematics and statistics, acoustics, noise and vibration; sonar systems. I have worked directly in the fields of data analysis, wind turbines, wave energy, gas turbines, submarine systems, and sensor technologies of many kinds. I have filed several patents and written a number of technical papers, and am currently interested in the hydrology of caves and associated measurements. I'm an engineer/ scientist/ mathematician with knowledge of French rather than a linguist who has chosen something technical to specialise in, so I can avoid many of the banana skins which can often trip up the non-specialist. After a painful encounter with an obscure nautical text (about which I knew very little), I now try to avoid topics outside my comfort zone. The important thing is to provide a translation in which I have confidence.

I use TM tools if I have to, and have even found them useful on occasions.
