BSc, MSc, PhD

Dr. Trevor Steward is a NHRMC/MRFF Senior Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences and the Director of the MSPS Brain and Mental Health Hub.

Dr. Steward's research focuses on using ultra high-field 7-Telsa MRI technology to understand how subcortical regions of the brain contribute to common symptoms found across psychiatric disorders. Although the majority of his research to date has examined the neuropsychopathology of eating disorders, he also conducted studies on mood disorders, PTSD, and obesity. His aim is to leverage neuroimaging tools to inform brain-based treatments and to improve clinical outcomes. He is the co-author of over 100 publications, including in leading journals such as Molecular Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry and Psychological Medicine.

Dr. Steward contributions to the CRE include coordinating MRI projects, analysing fMRI and skin conductance data, database management and fMRI paradigm design.
