Education and Early Life

[edit]

Born in Bucharest, Romania in 1984, Vlad earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Bucharest. After Romania joined the European Union in 2007, he moved to the United Kingdom and attended the London School of Economics. Studying under the supervision of Sandra Jovchelovitch, Vlad earned a Master of Science degree in Social and Cultural Psychology and a PhD in Social Psychology.

Academic Career

[edit]

After earning his PhD, Dr. Glăveanu's first academic position began in 2012 as an Associate Professor at Aalborg University in Denmark. There he worked with Jaan Vlasiner and Brady Wagoner, before leaving Denmark and moving to Switzerland in 2017.

Dr. Glăveanu continued his career as an Associate Professor at Webster University, Geneva in 2017. As the Head of Psychology and Counseling and the Head of the Webster Center for Creativity an Innovation (WCCI), Dr. Glăveanu helped develop what was at the time, "the only week-long conference entirely dedicated to creativity and innovation" called "Creativity Week."[4]

After moving to Dublin in 2022 with his wife and three kids, Prof. Glăveanu was the youngest person to be appointed to a Full Professorship at Dublin City University. Through his role in the School of Psychology, he has since worked to grow the size and scope of research in possibility studies, formally establishing and becoming the founding director of the DCU Centre for Possibility Studies in 2024.
