Alexander Groessing

Alexander Groessing is a researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Psychology, Department of Clinical and Health Psychology. He holds BSc and MSc qualifications and has maintained active research output from 2017 through 2023.

His research focuses on autism spectrum disorders with particular emphasis on social interactions and personal space regulation. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), Groessing investigates the neural mechanisms underlying social cognition in autism. His fingerprint analysis reveals strong expertise in Social Interaction (100% Psychology), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (75% Psychology), Neuroimaging (50% Psychology), and specific brain areas including the Intraparietal Sulcus and Fusiform Face Area.

Analysis of his publications shows a progression from foundational neuroimaging research on personal space regulation in 2017 toward developing therapeutic interventions, with his 2023 work presenting a protocol for an international music therapy trial for children with autism. This evolution demonstrates a trajectory from basic neuroscience research to clinical applications.

He has been actively involved in academic dissemination with three recorded poster presentations between 2017-2018, all focused on personal space regulation in autism spectrum disorders, presented at scientific conferences for academic audiences.

Groessing works within a collaborative research network including Giorgia Silani, Claudia Massaccesi, Mareike Hubinger, and others, indicating membership in a specialized research group focused on autism and cognitive neuroscience. His work bridges clinical psychology, neuroscience, and therapeutic intervention development for autism spectrum disorders.
