Juliane coordinates all administrative and organizational tasks in the Social Neuroscience Lab.

Yael's research is centered on investigating well-being and prosociality within the school environment. She has a specific interest in exploring the connection between students' wellness and their engagement in prosocial behaviors, which are evaluated through behavioral tasks. Furthermore, Yael aims to understand the impact of teacher wellness on their teaching and interactions with students. Finally, her focus extends to examining the unique relationship between teachers and students, both within the pedagogical process and in contexts beyond it.

Philipp’s research scope includes the professional development of educators, resilience and mental health in educational contexts, and the classroom and socio-emotional effects of mindfulness training. In particular, he is interested in behavioural and psycho-physiological measures to capture constructs such as stress, prosociality, or teaching quality.

Henrik’s academic background is primarily in the fields of clinical psychology, health psychology and public health. In his previous scientific work, he was interested in the link between mindfulness and addiction, acute stress and social behaviour, as well as psychosocial impacts of telemedical services. His role at Edu:Social School includes coordinating and organizing the the project.

Mert supports the Edu:Social School team in organizing and maintaining the study app. He is interested in questions of resilience and psychological strength and the factors that influence them.

Francesca has a background in biology and an interdisciplinary interest in neuroscience, with a focus on social behavior.

Cennet has a background in psychology, specializing in cognitive psychology with a focus on attention and perception. Her further interests lie in emotion and its underlying mechanisms, with the aim of pursuing research in affective neuroscience.

In the context of her PhD, Hannah is researching the impact of psychological interventions on stress and loneliness using behavioral and biopsychosocial methods. Additionally, she is interested in how these effects can be predicted by stressor-related changes in vulnerability, resilience and social cohesion.
