Abstract: We consider the diffusion of a non-relativistic heavy quark of fixed mass M, in a one-dimensionally expanding and strongly coupled plasma using the AdS/CFT duality. The Green's function constructed around a static string embedded in a background with a moving horizon, is identified with the noise correlation function in a Langevin approach. The (electric) noise decorrelation is of order 1/T( au) while the velocity de-correlation is of order MD( au)/T( au). For MD>1, the diffusion regime is segregated and the energy loss is Langevin-like. The time dependent diffusion constant D( au) asymptotes its adiabatic limit 2/pisqrt{lambda} T( au) when au/ au_0=(1/3eta_0 au_0)^3 where eta_0 is the drag coefficient at the initial proper time au_0.
