Dr. Katherina Tarnai-Lokhorst, P.Eng., FEC, FGC(hon), an award-
winning social science researcher and educator of mechanical
engineering, is a passionate leader in self-regulation and policy.
Katherina’s technical specializations include aircraft design,
manufacturing processes and project management.

Dedicated to creating an increasingly inclusive culture in
engineering, Katherina applies her mastery of
interdisciplinary studies by developing policies and
delivering workshops & presentations that  instil learners at all
levels with a  deep understanding of the impact of technology on
society and a passion to make the world a better place for all.

Katherina’s epic project, The Edge, is the culmination of her research
and of her experiences working in a paternalistic culture.  As a series
of vignettes, blog posts and infographics, The Edge helps readers to
explore the edge of their understanding of how their behaviour
affects others, and learn how to change that behaviour in order to
foster more inclusive cultures in the workplace and beyond.

In her free time, Katherina plays with her husband, her kids and her grandkids, and performs
with her jazz trio
Kadabra.
