Pilar Alamos

Pilar Alamos is an applied developmental psychologist whose research focuses on how to support young children’s social and emotional development in early childhood education, particularly through teacher-child interactions and relationships. She aims to test and strengthen interventions, practices, and policies that create more opportunities for all children to feel welcomed, respected, and valued in their early school experiences—foundations essential not only for academic learning, but for their overall whole development and wellbeing. She is a 2025-2027 Jacobs Foundation Research Fellow.
