Frank Mann, Ph.D. Research Scientist Principal Investigator: Dr. Sean Clouston |
Dr. Mann collaborates primarily with Dr. Clouston and Dr. Kotov studying the links between exposure severity, posttraumatic stress, and cognitive dysfunction and decline. He also works on how to operationalize the impact of cumulative stress on mental and physical health, particularly using large secondary datasets. Dr. Mann approaches these and related topics using methods from differential psychology, lifespan epidemiology, and quantitative genetics. Previously, Dr. Mann taught Introduction to Research Methods and Statistics and a graduate seminar on Longitudinal Data Analysis. He has published over 50 peer-review articles, presented dozens of papers and posters at academic conferences, and completed over 170 reviews for academic journals. Dr. Mann was the 2021 recipient of the Early Career Award from the International Society for the Study of Individual Differences, and he is currently the PI of a R21 from NIA.
