Christopher W. Wiese

Christopher W. Wiese is an Assistant Professor in the School of Psychology at Georgia Institute of Technology’s College of Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology (2015) and a B.S. in Psychology with a Management minor (2007), both from the University of Central Florida. His research focuses on interdisciplinary, person-centric approaches to well-being and team dynamics across diverse contexts.

His work emphasizes improving human flourishing through studies on commuting impacts, team learning, and the intersection of self-control with happiness. The Foundation Lab, his research hub, uses advanced technologies like virtual reality and driving simulators to simulate future work environments and examine cognitive/psychological phenomena. Current projects explore well-being metrics, future commuting trends, and team performance dynamics.

Publications highlight themes like commuting’s effects on worker well-being, meta-analyses of physical activity benefits, and team development over time. He actively recruits PhD students for 2024 enrollment. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but his lab’s innovative methodologies suggest strong research impact.

Advising and grants sections remain underdeveloped in the provided texts, though his lab’s experimental facilities imply ongoing or completed grant-funded projects. The Foundation Lab’s multi-media pods and VR setups enable simultaneous studies on individual health and team collaboration, positioning him as a leader in applied organizational psychology.
