Diana Carolina Hernandez Gonzalez Wang has an impressive story. Growing up in Valledupar, Colombia, she fell in love with math and technology.

This led her to earn a Masters of Industrial Automation Engineering and work for Colombia’s electrical system operator, equivalent to the New York ISO. Later, she volunteered at Columbia University where she worked with high school students looking to fulfill their dreams of becoming engineers. Today, she devotes her passion and talent to helping NYISO plan for the integration of renewables on to the grid.
