Diana specialised in socio-legal research on the judiciary and the justice system, with a focus on quantitative evidence. She is passionate about using robust evidence to inform and improve policy-making in justice. Diana obtained a doctorate in judicial studies at UCL Laws with a study on how judges at different levels of expertise have different learning needs.
Her study was the first large-scale study of judicial attitudes in Europe to validate Kolb's theory of adult learning on judicial office holders. She has also conducted research on judicial-led alternative dispute resolution, judicial diversity, and judicial independence.
