Professor David Creswell’s research focuses broadly on understanding what makes people resilient under stress. Specifically, he conducts community intervention studies, laboratory studies of stress and coping, and neuroimaging studies to understand how various stress management strategies alter coping and stress resilience.
He is currently working on studies that test how mindfulness meditation training impacts the brain, peripheral stress physiological responses and stress-related disease outcomes in at-risk communities. David also explores how the use of simple strategies (self-affirmation, rewarding activities, cognitive reappraisal) can buffer stress and improve problem-solving under pressure.
Recently, David has done some research work in other areas, such as in describing the role of unconscious processes in learning and decision making, developing new theory and research on behavioral priming, and in building a new field of health neuroscience. David leads the new CMU Center for Modern Digital Health, which focuses on building and deploying next-generation, technology-enabled interventions that can and will improve individual and population health.
