Relation to Future Worlds Center

Christiane El-Haddad was an intern to Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute in 1993. She joined as part-time Research Associate between 1996 and 1998, when she left Cyprus. Since 2005, she collaborates as External Research Associate.

Short bio

Christiane El-Haddad holds a BA in Psychology and various certificates in psychology and neuroscience. She served as the coordinating scientist for the development of the MAPS: Mental Attributes Profiling System project which was funded by the Research Promotion Foundation) and co-organized several Yearly “Computers and Dyslexia” meetings (1996, 1997, 1998).

Current activities

Christiane's current research work involves the study of children’s ability to express and recognize emotions and its role in learning.
