Biography

I have graduated from Cairo University, with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and computer science. I have spent almost 10 years in the US (University of Louisiana, University of Arizona, and Rutgers University) conducting computational and neuropsychological studies of schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease (during my PhD and postdoctoral work). Starting from 2010, I have also started collaborative projects on depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In 2012, I have moved to UWS, and I am glad to teach and conduct research in the field of cognitive and clinical neuropsychology.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Computational Modeling, Clinical Neuropsychology, and Machine Learning (bioinformatics). Currently, I am interested in understanding learning and cognitive function in various psychiatric and neurological disorders, using computational and statistical methods.

I plan to study cognitive function in various patient groups using both computational modeling and behavioral methods. One of my research goals is to understand how changes in cognitive function (such as working memory, learning, memory, attention, and language) relate to psychometric measures (such as personality, intelligence, and quality of life) in patients with brain disorders.

I welcome new students who have interests in conducting computational and/or cognitive/behavioral studies. If interested, please email me if you have any questions or if you want to arrange a meeting (a.moustafa@westernsydey.edu.au).

Collaboration:

I have started in early 2019 to collaborate with Dr. Yuliya Richard to conduct online training for patients with impulsive behaviour, including drug addiction, aggression, and gambling. Our goal is to minimse their impulsivity to manage a better life. Dr. Richard and I have also received funding to pilot our online training program on patients with drug abuse. You can find more information about this training program at: https://impulsivity.com.au/
