Biography
Ingrid is a research associate working on the London Education and Inclusion Project (LEIP) and active member of the Violence Research Centre. LEIP is a cluster-randomised controlled field experiment, the goal of which is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Engage in Education - London (EiEL; Catch22) programme targeting Year 9 and 10 pupils at high risk for fixed-term school exclusion in selected Greater London schools.
Ingrid joined the Institute in January 2012 as a Jacobs Foundation funded Research Associate working on the Zurich Project on the Social Development of Children, z-proso, led by Professor Manuel Eisner.
Ingrid's academic interests are in the area of adolescent mental health with a focus on attachment relationships, family conflict, adverse childhood experiences and behaviour problems. Her research centers around three main topics: 1) exploring the socio-emotional, cognitive and biological aspects of the development and progression of behaviour problems in children and adolescents; 2) the development and evaluation of prevention and intervention programmes for children and youth; and 3) the development of reliable techniques to assess socio-emotional functioning in children and adolescents.
