Frank D. Mann, Ph.D.

Welcome to my website. I am a Senior Research Scientist at Stony Brook University in the Department of  Medicine and a statistical reviewer for the Journal of the American Medical Association Open Network. My work focuses on understanding the contributing factors to mental health across the lifespan. For example, I am especially interested in developing statistical models of social and relational exposures to measure cumulative stress and cumulative advantage. I am also interested in the relationships between genetic liabilities, traumatic exposures, and psychiatric outcomes, including post-traumatic stress disorder, externalizing psychopathology, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia. I approach these and related topics using theories and methods from differential psychology, lifespan epidemiology, applied statistics, and quantitative genetics. Some of my recent work was published in Social Science and Medicine, Proceedings from the National Academy of Sciences, Journal of Abnormal Psychology, and Clinical Psychological Science. In 2021, I received an early career award from the International Society for the Study of Individual Differences. Previously, I completed a postdoctoral appointment in the Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota and taught research methods and statistics at Augsburg University.
