He is a Full Professor in the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University, where he directs the Social Cognition and Interaction: Functional Imaging (SCI:FI) Laboratory.[1][2]
Education
[edit]Krueger completed bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology and physics at Humboldt University Berlin and the Free University of Berlin. He received a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in cognitive psychology from Humboldt University Berlin. He later completed a habilitation (Dr. habil.) in psychology at the same institution.

Since 2021, he has been a tenured Full Professor in the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia. He founded the Social Cognition and Interaction: Functional Imaging (SCI:FI) Laboratory in 2009 and has served as its chief since that time.[2]
He completed postdoctoral research at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Between 2009 and 2012, Krueger was Lead Investigator of Phase 4 of the Warfighter Head Injury Study (Vietnam Head Injury Study) at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institutes of Health.[3]

In 2007, he co-authored a functional neuroimaging study of interpersonal trust published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.[5]
He has also been an author of later empirical studies, review articles, meta-analyses, and theoretical papers related to trust and social decision-making.[6][7][8]
Professional activities
Since 2020, Krueger has served as Specialty Field Editor for Social Neuroergonomics at Frontiers in Neuroergonomics. He has also served on editorial boards of academic journals and has participated in the organization of academic conferences and workshops.[9]
In 2021, he edited The Neurobiology of Trust, published by Cambridge University Press.[10]
In 2023, he was involved in the organization of the inaugural meeting of the Transdisciplinary Research Union for the Study of Trust (T-R-U-S-T) in Vienna, Austria. In 2026, he became President of the Transdisciplinary Research Union for the Study of Trust, a non-profit organization.
