Computational Psychiatry

Alan Anticevic, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology at Yale University School of Medicine, where he co-directs a research division and laboratory focused on the integration of cognitive, computational and clinical neuroimaging approaches with the objective of understanding the neurobiology of neuropsychiatric disorders. He received his Ph.D. in Clinical Neuropsychology and Cognitive Neuroscience from Washington University in St. Louis. John D. Murray, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Neuroscience, and Physics at Yale University School of Medicine, where he directs a research program in computational neuroscience with a focus on computational models of neuropsychiatric disorders. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Yale University, and was a postdoctoral researcher at New York University.
