Aida Seyedsalehi
BSc (Hons) MPhil
DPhil Student
I am a DPhil student working under the supervision of Professor Seena Fazel and Professor Graham Murray (University of Cambridge). My research is broadly focused on prognostic modelling for adverse outcomes in mental illness (including model development, validation, and systematic reviews of prognostic models). I am particularly interested in predicting the risk of suicide, self-harm, and psychotic relapse.
Prior to starting my DPhil at Oxford, I completed a BSc in Psychology at King’s College London and an MPhil in Epidemiology at the University of Cambridge. My DPhil research is supported by the Clarendon Fund, the Robert Oxlade Scholarship (St John’s College), a Department of Psychiatry Studentship, and the NIHR Oxford Health BRC.
