Prof. Dr Matthias Maalouli-Hartmann
Matthias Maalouli-Hartmann a obtenu son titre de docteur en 2013 à l'institut de psychologie de l'Université de Berne. Il a ensuite obtenu une bourse du Fonds national suisse (FNS) pour travailler en tant que chercheur au sein du « Potsdam Embodied Cognition Group » de l'Université de Potsdam (Allemagne). En 2016, il es revenu à l'Université de Berne, où il a bénéficié d'une bourse FNS Ambizione pour étudier divers aspects du traitement des nombres. Matthias Maalouli-Hartmann a rejoint UniDistance Suisse en 2017. Il enseigne trois modules de bachelor et un module de master dans la filière germanophone de psychologie et mène plusieurs projets de recherche en psychologie cognitive expérimentale.
