Biography

Hello! My name is Eric Choi, and I am an aerospace engineer, writer and editor from Toronto, Canada. With Ben Bova, I co-edited the new hard SF anthology Carbide Tipped Pens published by Tor. My work has appeared in Ricepaper, Analog, Far Orbit, Rocket Science, The Astronaut from Wyoming and Other Stories, Footprints, Northwest Passages, Space Inc., Tales from the Wonder Zone, Northern Suns, Tesseracts6, Arrowdreams, Science Fiction Age and Asimov's. With Derwin Mak, I co-edited the Aurora Award winning anthology The Dragon and the Stars, the first collection of speculative fiction written by authors of the Chinese diaspora.

An aerospace engineer by training, I have a bachelor's degree in engineering science and a master's degree in aerospace engineering, both from the University of Toronto, and an MBA from York University. I am also an alumnus of the International Space University. Over the course of my engineering career, I have worked on a number of space missions including the Phoenix Mars Lander, the Canadarm2 on the International Space Station, the RADARSAT-1 Earth-observation satellite and the MOPITT instrument on the Terra satellite. In 2009, I was one of the Top 40 finalists (out of 5,351 applicants) in the Canadian Space Agency's astronaut recruitment campaign.
