About

Hola, I am Diana and I love rocks and computers!

I am an experienced physical scientist with more than 12 years in the energy industry. I certainly enjoy working within a multidisciplinary team of scientists, technologists and engineers. I am an enthusiastic and adaptable person. Diversity, inclusion and equality are the primary concepts for all my professional and personal projects.

Technical Expertise

My technical goals are centered on characterizing the lithological, petrophysical and mechanical properties of subsurface reservoirs using core analysis, well-logging and data analysis techniques. Currently, my professional objective is to contribute to the growth of safe global sustainable energy.

Core Analysis

Well Logging

Modeling

Current Projects

I am increasing knowledge and expertise in geothermal characterization using previous experience. I am looking to facilitate the transfer of innovative technologies from the petroleum sector to the geothermal industry.
