Kurzprofil
Dr. Zois is a professor of psychology at IU International University of Applied Sciences. For his doctoral studies, Dr. Zois explored irrationality, brain function, and structure in disordered gambling with and without depression comorbidity. He followed a similar line of research during his postdoctoral work integrating genetics to the study of alcohol use disorder. Dr. Zois has gained valuable experience in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, and addiction, working as an assistant (clinical) psychologist and research assistant in several renowned research and clinical settings and in Greece, the UK, and Germany. He has coordinated several addiction-related projects at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London and the Central Institute for Mental Health Mannheim, University of Heidelberg.
Forschungsgebiete
