Diedre is a Brooklyn native interested in the interwoven and interdependent relationships between living things and their environment. As a designer and data scientist, she is interested in how data can express and reveal the correlations within this relationship. An interest that supports her research endeavors as a Ph.D. Candidate in the Urban Systems and Urban Science programs at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Working with Dr. Elizabeth Hénaff and the Laboratory for Living Interfaces, she applies earth observation techniques to assess area-level conditions of the environmental microbiome (the microorganisms that inhabit specific environments and are associated with beneficial and pathogenic public health effects) of the urban microclimate as they relate to microbial diversity.
