Aric Prather, PhD
Professor
Psychiatry
School of Medicine

Prather's research focuses on how poor sleep impacts physical health and emotional well-being. He measures sleep habits to determine which study participants are vulnerable to sleep-related health problems and which are resilient, with the goal of developing new treatments.

Prather earned his doctoral degree in clinical and biological health psychology from the University of Pittsburgh.

Prather is a member of the Sleep Research Society, American Psychological Association, American Psychosomatic Society and Society for Affective Science.
