Biography

O.E. Popa's research background lies in argumentation theory and science and technology studies (STS), with a focus on the interplay between technology and moral values. He explores how new technologies impact the values we hold dear and how these values can guide the development of emerging technologies. He has participated in EU and Dutch research projects that delve into the socio-ethical dimensions of energy systems, particularly emphasizing the role of hydrogen and solar fuels, including artificial photosynthesis. On a philosophical level, Popa is interested in fundamental questions surrounding argument, evidence, and criticism, including the theory of fallacies, which are essential components of comprehensive discursive philosophy in technology.
