"One of the best hard science-fiction writers ever. He really knows his stuff."
--Gregory Benford

Brief biography

Science Fiction

I'm a science fiction writer who has won the Hugo and Nebula awards, and have published one novel, a collection of short stories, one volume of poetry, and a hundred or so short stories. Click here to get to the page with my writing, science fiction, and poetry.

Science Stuff

Writing is not my full time job. In my main job, I am a scientist at the NASA John Glenn Research Center, where I work on Mars missions and on developing advanced concepts and technology for future space missions. Click here for the page for my activities in science and technology

Appearances

Conventions

I typically attend one or two science-fiction conventions each year. You can find me at:

Feb. 12-14, 2010: Boskone, Boston, MA.
March 17-21: International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts, Orlando, FL
October 28-31, 2010: World Fantasy Convention, Columbus, OH.

My plans are always in flux, but some conventions I sometimes show up at include Marcon (Columbus OH), Confluence (Pittsburgh PA), Context (Columbus, OH), and of course the World Convention (although I doubt I'll make it to Australia in 2010-- sorry, Aussies).

Lectures

February 10, 2010, 3:00-5:00pm: seminar "Set the Controls for the Edge of the Sun" at MIT, Cambridge, MA (16.S26 Modern Space Science and Engineering Seminar).
