Biography

Diana Tran initially worked as a Laboratory Research Intern in 1996. In 1999 she advanced to Graduate Student Fellow and was hired in 2001 as a permanent staff member. Currently, Ms.Tran is involved in plasma-enhanced catalysis for the reduction of NOx in heavy-duty diesel exhaust and plasma oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in melter off-gas.
