He does this in small-sample laboratory studies of stress and emotion regulation mechanisms, often involving neuroimaging, as well as in large-sample longitudinal cohort studies in which stressor exposure, mental health, and resilience factors are monitored repeatedly and at high sampling frequency, such as to identify processes of adaptation that allow stressor-exposed individuals to stay mentally healthy.
