Delaney Buskard

Delaney Buskard is a doctoral candidate in Environmental Science & Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), studying at the Institute of the Environment & Sustainability. Her on-campus research at UCLA, in partnership with the UCLA Anderson Center for Impact, focused on corporate sustainability, strategy, and climate transition planning. She serves as a Sustainability Analyst at Edison International.

Delaney’s passion for environmental science was sparked in high school by an inspiring AP Environmental Science teacher who introduced her to the realities of global climate change and the possibilities for positive impact through the energy transition. Her academic and professional work is driven by the belief that STEM should extend beyond the lab to reflect the complexity of the real world—where diversity and inclusion are essential for credible and impactful research.

Outside of her studies, Delaney enjoys baking, exploring new places in California and beyond, spending time with her dog (Alfalfa) and watching tennis.
