Dr. Alexandra Brozena
I started AEE to help scientists and engineers to publish faster and in higher impact factor journals. With my B.A. in English, Environmental Science, and Ph.D. in Chemistry, I am uniquely positioned to polish a wide range of manuscripts for publication and review. I provide more than just proof-reading, also editing for style, flow, comprehension, and technical feedback, helping you to learn what sections of your argument may need further clarification for maximum impact on your audience.
I have provided this service in a university setting since 2009 and have helped many scientists publish with the aid of my constructive comments and editing.
