Dr. Diana Miranda is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology, Social Policy & Criminology at the University of Stirling, within the Faculty of Social Sciences. Her work focuses on the intersection of criminology and sociology, examining biometric and data-driven technologies' impacts on surveillance, identity, and suspicion. She actively engages in policy-informed research, contributing expertise to bodies like the Scottish Parliament’s Justice Sub-Committee on Policing.
Her research spans biometric identification technologies (e.g., facial recognition, DNA profiling), predictive policing, and AI-enabled surveillance. Notable projects include the ESRC-funded 'Emotional AI in Cities' (2020-23) and EPSRC-funded 'Critically Exploring Biometric AI Futures'. She collaborates internationally, with work presented at conferences like Surveillance & Society and Eurocrim. Miranda has supervised doctoral students and welcomes PhD applicants in these areas.
Publications emphasize surveillance ethics, carceral governance, and technological mediation of suspicion. Her work bridges academic and policy spheres, addressing societal implications of emerging technologies in criminal justice and urban contexts. She is affiliated with research groups like CRISP (Crime & Justice Research into Information, Surveillance and Privacy) and the Living Well research theme.
