Joel Wachman

Joel Wachman’s essays have won awards from Sycamore Review and American Short Fiction. His short works have appeared in Harvard Review, Fourth Genre, Panorama Journal, and more. His father was a scientist and his mother was a schoolteacher, so naturally he became a critical thinker who loves literature. After earning a Bachelors in Cognitive Science at Harvard and a Masters at the MIT Media Laboratory, he spent a decade in Paris. There, he published a series of chapbooks, Par Avion, which was sold by bouquinistes along the Seine. As a computer scientist, Joel builds information systems for a research institute that develops treatments for cancer. He lives in Cambridge Massachusetts.
