Diana is an international Ph.D. student from Mexico at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is in her third year of doctoral studies in the Building and Construction Technology Program (Department of Environmental Conservation) with an area of concentration in sustainable building systems. Her interests and research are concerned with high-performance and energy-efficient buildings with special emphasis on the building envelope of both residential and commercial structures. Diana’s experience in the energy sector and renewable energy technologies, coupled with the imminent threat of climate change, motivated her to focus on not only contributing to greener ways to produce energy but to contribute to its conservation and more efficient use in buildings. Low-carbon, durable, and high-performance buildings, as it relates to the above, have been the recent and primary focus of her work. Christopher is an associate with Bruner/Cott Architects. He uses architecture as an act of environmentalism, innovating sustainable and low-carbon approaches for both new buildings and historic structures to address climate change. It is Christopher's goal to make a positive impact on the built environment, while sharing his experience with future designers.
