Dr. Kraft is an assistant professor at the University of South Dakota. His current program of research aims to document cognitive and physiological processes within anxiety and related disorders and determine their role as etiological or maintenance factors to better inform treatment. Using a variety of techniques (e.g., event-related potentials, time-frequency analyses, skin conductance, electrocardiography, heart-rate variability), he aims to better capture cognitive impairments (e.g., executive function, attention). His long-term goal is to continue using noninvasive brain stimulation techniques (e.g., tACS) to target disease specific and transdiagnostic physiological and cognitive processes.

 
His clinical interests include the treatment of anxiety and related disorders, including Social Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder using a variety of evidence based treatments, such as Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention.
