She also has experience developing teaching materials and case studies on engineering ethics and sustainability.
Dr. Martin was a guest speaker at the invitation of The European Commision DG Research & Innovation, Euraxess Japan & Delegation of EU to Japan, the European Forum Alpbach, Délégation Wallonie Bruxelles a Bucarest, Engineers Ireland, University College London, the SATORI FP7 project on themes ranging from engineering ethics to social entrepreneurship and research policy. Diana is currently an Associate Editor for Science and Engineering Ethics and The European Journal of Engineering Education
Experience
Diana has experience as a social entrepreneur (2008-2016), having founded in Romania the educational NGO Link Education and Practice, with projects focused on graduate employability and enhancing academia-private sector cooperation. For her work, she was selected by the European Forum Alpbach as one of Europe's innovators in tackling inequality in education (2015).
Diana is also interested in research and educational policies. She collaborated with the European Commission DG Research & Innovation as a founding member of Euraxess-Voice of Researchers (2012-2016), and took part in advisory meetings with policymakers from Romania, Austria, Belgium and Albania on education related issues.
Diana is the co-chair of the working group on Ethics of SEFI - European Society for Engineering Education (2022-26), the Europe board representative in REEN - Research in Engineering Education Network (2022-26) and co-chair of the OZSW working group Engineering Ethics Education and Research.
Academic background
Diana completed her PhD project entitled "Towards a sociotechnical reconfiguration of engineering and an education for ethics: A critical realist investigation into the patterns of education and eccreditation of ethics in engineering programmes in Ireland" at TU Dublin, in July 2020. Her dissertation committee included Eddie Conlon (sociology), Brian Bowe (STEM education), Kevin O'Rourke (digital education) and Carl Mitcham (philosophy).
Diana's educational background is in theoretical philosophy and logic at the University of Bucharest (2004 - 2008) and value studies and liberal arts at Bard College Berlin (2009 - 2011).
