Last updated

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]
