Nice to Meet You
I am a Ph.D. student at the Robot Ecology Lab @University of California, Irvine. My research interests include control theory, instrument design, sensor fusion, and the collaboration of heterogeneous systems to explore natural phenomena and unknown environments using machine learning.

Background:
Diana is a first-generation Latina from East Los Angeles. Her interest in STEM began at Belvedere Middle School through the STEM club and Viva Technology program. In undergrad, she pursued a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics (Fall'23) and Electrical Engineering (Fall'23) out of a love and curiosity for both fields at Cal Poly Pomona. Through internships, research experiences, and programs like Cal-Bridge Diana honed her passion for electrical engineering research with applications that explore natural phenomena.
"Growth isn’t clean or easy—it means dirty hands and cracked shells, pushing through darkness toward the light. Don’t be afraid of the work. It means you’re becoming something new." -Jaymi Lee Smith
