Joseph Barnby

Joseph Barnby is a Research Fellow affiliated with the University of Western Australia and King's College London, specializing in computational psychiatry and social cognition. His work bridges neuroscience, clinical mental health, and network analysis.

• PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience (2021), Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London
• MSc in Clinical Mental Health (2017), University College London

Barnby's research focuses on computational models of mentalizing, social outcomes, and prodromal symptoms in severe mental disorders. He employs natural language processing, electronic health records, and neuroimaging to explore dynamic temporal networks in psychiatry.

His recent articles highlight trends in transdiagnostic prodromes, neuropharmacological mechanisms, and social cognition frameworks, contributing to fields like machine learning in mental health, affective neuroscience, and psychiatric informatics.

Scientific recognition includes the 2023 FENS-Kavli Scholar award. He leads the Hypatia project (Wellcome Trust) and collaborates on the TRUST project (British Academy), advancing adolescent mental health research.
