Eddie Brummelman is an Associate Professor at the University of Amsterdam, a Jacobs Foundation Research Fellow 2021-2023, and a board member of The Young Academy (De Jonge Akademie) of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).

Brummelman’s work is situated at the intersection of developmental psychology and educational science. He studies the developing self: how children develop self-views, how these self-views shape mental health and educational outcomes, and how interventions that target self-views can help at-risk children flourish. Brummelman is committed to using basic science to address social problems, such as the growing problem of inequality in education.
