We got a new doctor in town! Congratulations, Alex!

Today, Dec. 05th, Alexandros Kastrinogiannis successfully defended his PhD thesis Bridging Lab and Reality: A Multi-Level Investigation of Early Adversity, Physiological Processing, and Motivated Behavior in Gamified Virtual Reality (PDF accessible from Stabi / ediss.sub.hamburg).
Alex continues his career in science in Dr. Michael Gaebler’s “Mind-Body-Emotion” research group in the Department of Neurology at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. His main research interests are immersive virtual reality, approach avoidance, 3D environments and face recognition.

We, the Lonsdorf Lab team, wish you all the best, Alex!
