Denis Gerstorf, PhD, FGSA

Professor
Humboldt University of Berlin
Berlin, Berlin, Germany

I am Professor and chair of Developmental Psychology at Humboldt University Berlin, Germany. I also hold appointments as Adjunct Professor of Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State University and as Research Fellow at the Socio-Economic Panel, one of the longest-running national surveys worldwide. I have the privilege to serve as (Associate/Section) editor for the journals Psychology and Aging and Gerontology, and have been for many years in that role for the International Journal of Behavioral Development. I am Fellow of the Gerontological Society of America. I also very much enjoy being the chairperson of the interdisciplinary, multi-institutional Berlin Aging Study-II (https://www.base2.mpg.de/de) consortium.

As lifespan developmental scholar, I am particularly interested in better understanding
 the individuality of age and aging,
 the multitude of different ways in which the historical times people are living in often profoundly shape adult development and aging,
 how our everyday lives and developmental trajectories are often closely intertwined with and co-regulated by the contexts in which we live (e.g., our partners or spouses)
