Tessa Fisher is an astrobiologist, focused on using network theory to develop better ways of detecting life on exoplanets. She’s currently employed as a research facilitator with Arizona State University’s Research Technology Office, where she helps researchers make use of the university’s supercomputing clusters.
When she’s not doing science, her hobbies include burlesque dancing, singing in the Phoenix Women’s Chorus, yoga, and writing LGBTQ-positive science fiction and fantasy. Some of her short fiction has been published in Fireside Magazine, Analog, and Baffling, amongst other venues.
She resides in Tempe, AZ, along with a fairly aloof bearded dragon and a very vocal rescue cat.
