Diane Henderson

Diane Marie Henderson is an American applied mathematician, specializing in fluid dynamics and mathematical oceanography.[1] Unusually for a mathematics professor, some of her research involves physical experiments with wave tanks, high speed cameras, and oil droplets.[2]

Henderson earned her Ph.D. in physical oceanography[2] from the University of California, San Diego in 1990. Her dissertation, Faraday Waves, was supervised by John W. Miles.[3] She is a professor of mathematics at Pennsylvania State University[4] and one of two faculty members leading the William G. Pritchard Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at Pennsylvania State University.[5]

Henderson is a 1992 Packard Foundation Fellow.[6] She was awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship in 1996.[7]
