Biography

Jai Carmichael is an Early Career Researcher and Research Fellow at the Monash-Epworth Rehabilitation Research Centre, specializing in clinical neuropsychology and acquired brain injury (ABI). His work focuses on understanding the neuropsychiatric consequences of ABI and aims to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice. Dr. Carmichael leads a flagship project funded by the Epworth HealthCare Innovation Grant that applies transdiagnostic, data-driven methods to classify and understand neuropsychiatric issues following brain injuries. His efforts have led to the development of a novel ABI-specific assessment framework that identifies cognitive-neurobiological correlates and evaluates predictive validity. He is actively involved in research addressing suicidality and self-injury among individuals with ABI, using mixed methods to create resources to support clinicians and families. Over the years, Dr. Carmichael has published more than 10 peer-reviewed articles and presented nationally and internationally, contributing significantly to journals in neuropsychology and psychiatry. He is also a Clinical Neuropsychology Registrar with a commitment to mentoring the next generation of researchers in the field.
