Lucinda Marshall (b. 1983) is a British-born science writer and novelist whose work bridges radio astronomy and speculative fiction. She studied astrophysics at the University of Manchester, trained at Jodrell Bank, and later worked as a systems engineer with the European Space Agency's deep-space network before consulting for ALMA operations in northern Chile. Her essays have appeared in New Scientist and Nautilus, and her short fiction has been published in venues including Analog and Lightspeed. Marshall's stories often explore signal, memory, and the physics of choice, informed by years spent tuning real telescopes and troubleshooting stubborn antennas in high, dry air. She lives in Valparaíso, Chile, where she keeps an unruly archive of field notes, a handmade loop antenna on her balcony, and a rescue mutt named Quipu.
