Philipp Bierwirth is a Post-Doc researcher at the Department of Differential Psychology and Personality Research, Philipps University of Marburg. He joined the university in 2022 and works under the research group of Prof. Dr. U. Stockhorst, focusing on neurobiological mechanisms of fear and personality traits.
- Education: Dr. rer. nat. (summa cum laude) from University of Osnabrück (2016-2022); MSc in Psychology (2013-2016) and BSc in Psychology (2010-2013) from Justus Liebig University Giessen
His research explores the neurobiological foundations of fear memory, extinction processes, and their relationship with sleep, neuroticism, and brain-heart coupling. He has published extensively on theta oscillations, estradiol modulation, and threat-related neural adaptations.
Recent publications reveal a focus on linking noradrenergic systems to fear extinction, integrating emotional evaluation with neuroimaging, and investigating hormonal influences on memory consolidation. His work bridges basic and applied neuroscience, particularly in anxiety disorders.
- Scientific Awards: PhD with highest distinction (summa cum laude) at University of Osnabrück
He is actively involved in the Müller research group and contributes to advancing understanding of personality-related neural vulnerabilities.
