Biography

Martin Sand is an Assistant Professor at TU Delft, focusing on the intersection of Ethics, Philosophy, and Technology. He has been a member of the NIAS-Lorentz theme group, 'Accountable Explainable Medical AI,' and has undertaken a two-year project on 'Moral Luck in Science and Innovation' as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow. Martin earned his PhD summa cum laude in 2018 with a thesis titled 'Futures, Visions, Responsibility - An Ethics of Innovation,' completed at the Institute of Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS). His research interests lie in the uncertainties and challenges posed by emerging technologies, particularly how they relate to responsibility, futurism, and ethical considerations. His work has been recognized with various prizes and fellowships, and he is actively involved in academic discourse through publications addressing the ethical requirements of medical AI and the concept of moral luck. Martin's teaching philosophy emphasizes empowering colleagues to foster an inclusive classroom environment, aligning with his research on digital utopias and the moral progress in engineering ethics education.
