David Benrimoh is a neuropsychiatrist who completed his psychiatry residency at º«¹úÂãÎè. He received an MSc. in Neuroscience from UCL, working with Karl Friston on computational models of auditory hallucinations. He received a second MSc. in Psychiatry from º«¹úÂãÎè, working with Simon Ducharme and Bratislav Misic on transdiagnostic imaging in psychosis. He is the founder and chief science officer at Aifred Health, a digital mental health company using artificial intelligence to create decision support tools for mental health clinicians; Aifred won the $1M USD second place prize in the global IBM-sponsored AI XPRIZE. He is the author of over 40 peer-reviewed publications. He completed his fellowship in Neuropsychiatry at Stanford University, where he conducted research on the mechanistic underpinnings of rapid acting rTMS. As an Assistant Professor at º«¹úÂãÎè, his research focuses on computational psychiatry approaches to understanding and predicting psychosis onset and using this knowledge to develop novel treatment paradigms. Clinically, he is working in psychotic disorders, with a focus on early psychosis, as well as neuropsychiatry.
