Michael Richter is a Reader in Motivation Psychology in the School of Natural Sciences and Psychology. He received his PhD in 2004 from the University of Erlangen-Nurnberg, Germany, for a thesis on the impact of mood and task-context on effort-related cardiovascular response. From 2004 to 2015 he worked at Geneva Motivation Lab of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, examining cognitive and affective determinants of effort and cardiovascular response. He joined Liverpool John Moores University in 2015.
