Biography

Climate-related research has been a passion of Diana’s for over two decades, with work spanning private industry, academia, and now Sandia. At Sandia, her career began in the water power program as the wave energy converter modeling lead. She is the principal investigator of the Arctic Coastal Erosion (ACE) Model, a multi-disciplinary pursuit to model permafrost erosion, and institutional lead on the BER-funded InteRFACE project continuing to develop ACE. She was a primary technical contributor to Sandia’s lab-wide Climate Security Strategy, drawing upon years of strategic foresight development surrounding the Arctic, climate, and climate intervention.
