Loraine Torres-Castro is on a mission to ensure the technologies of today do not harm the climate of tomorrow. For Loraine, a future with sustainable and clean energy is possible but the possibility requires a “do no harm” mentality and inclusion of diverse perspectives, people and stories.
Loraine, Sandia’s battery safety team lead and a principal member of technical staff, has been at Sandia almost eight years. In that time, she has focused her research on the transition to renewable energy and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions using batteries. But not just any batteries — safe, reliable and ecologically responsible batteries.
