About the Founders
Dr. Tricia (Striano) Skoler was trained as a developmental scientist at Emory University. An award winning scientists, she published over 100 research papers on cognitive development and neuroscience. She was research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and the recipient of the prestigious Sofja Kovalevskaja Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany. With this prize, she founded the Neuro-cognition & Development Research Division at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences and University of Leipzig, Center for Advanced Studies. As a college professor, she often noticed that traditional students were not making connections outside of the classroom. Together with Markus Lemmens she founded ZWIFLY® to solve this problem (and many others!)
Dr. Markus Lemmens is a serial entrepreneur, CEO and co-owner of Lemmens GmbH Education. He is founder of Edutron, an algorithm-based matching tool for higher and continuous education, and Atlantik Trading, dedicated to helping scientists and researchers commercialize their work. Lemmens served as the North American liaison officer for several European Universities including Karlsruhe Institute of Techology, University of Freiburg and University Basal. Lemmen’s message is LINK KNOWLEDGE, CREATE VALUE while COMBINING SCIENCE, HUMANITIES & BUSINESS.
Make the connections.
