"Dana Manalang has been working with underwater systems as an engineer in the Seattle area for over a decade, though her love of the sea goes back as far as she can remember. A mother of two, Dana enjoys sharing her enthusiasm for all things aquatic and robotic with her kids and anyone else who will listen. Her favorite part about working at sea is the thrill of the unknown. At any moment, exotic creatures or events can turn ordinary work days into extraordinary explorations. She hopes that ROPOS and the Underwater Volcano conveys that sense of adventure to readers both young and old.
