Ian Greenhouse serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Physiology within the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Oregon. He directs the Action Control Laboratory, where he investigates the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying human movement initiation and cancellation using multimodal approaches including electrophysiology, neuroimaging, and brain stimulation. Education: Undergraduate degree in Psychology from Tufts University Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego Postdoctoral training at the University of California, Berkeley Research Focus: Dr. Greenhouse's work centers on action control neurophysiology , specifically examining motor inhibition processes during response stopping and preparation. His lab employs electromyography (EMG) , transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) , and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to probe corticospinal excitability in healthy and clinical populations. Key investigations include neural computations for action preparation, biomarkers of stopping failure, and relationships between motor performance and brain chemistry (e.g., GABA). Publication Trends: Analysis of Dr. Greenhouse's 2022-2025 publications reveals intensified focus on subcomponents of response inhibition (pause vs. cancel processes) and neurochemical modulation of motor control. His work increasingly integrates menstrual cycle effects on GABA with action stopping metrics, while maintaining core investigations of corticospinal dynamics during unimanual/bimanual preparation. Recent studies show growing clinical applications in stroke rehabilitation. Scientific Awards: No awards were documented in the source materials. Advising and Research: As laboratory director, Dr. Greenhouse mentors students in the Action Control Laboratory's research program. Although specific grants aren't detailed, his high-output publication record spanning neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and clinical applications suggests sustained external funding for equipment-intensive neuroscience research. Laboratory Operations: The Action Control Laboratory (https://actioncontrollab.uoregon.edu) operates from Gerlinger Hall (Room 348), utilizing TMS-EMG integration, MRS, and behavioral paradigms to study action control. Current projects examine preparatory inhibition in stroke recovery, interhemispheric dynamics during movement preparation, and individual differences in stopping processes using the stop-signal task framework.

Sharon Sassler is a Professor in the Department of Policy Analysis and Management at Cornell University's Brooks School of Public Policy. She joined the Cornell faculty in 2005 and holds a Ph.D. in Sociology/Demography from Brown University (1995). Her research examines life course transitions of young adults across education, work, relationships, and parenthood, with critical attention to gender, race/ethnicity, and social class disparities. Education: Post-Doctoral Fellowship, Johns Hopkins University, Department of Population Dynamics (1995-96) Ph.D. in Sociology/Demography, Brown University (1995) M.A. in Sociology/Demography, Brown University (1991) B.A. in English & American Literature and Politics, Brandeis University (1984) Professor Sassler's research spans two interconnected domains: family demography and STEM gender dynamics. In family studies, she investigates cohabitation, marriage, and non-marital childbearing through publications like Cohabitation Nation: Gender, Class, and the Remaking of Relationships (2017), which demonstrates how cohabitation patterns exacerbate family inequality. Her work reveals how union transitions affect maternal health, child educational outcomes, and relationship stability across racial and socioeconomic lines. Concurrently, she examines women's retention in STEM fields, analyzing gender wage gaps, occupational attrition, and the impact of family formation on career trajectories in science and engineering professions. Her 2022-2025 publications reveal intensifying focus on cross-national comparisons of union formation and STEM career dynamics, with growing attention to policy impacts. Notable trends include state abortion policy effects on pregnancy outcomes, the retreat from marriage among college-educated STEM professionals, and intersectional analyses of job search strategies. Her work consistently centers gendered power dynamics within cohabiting relationships while documenting how racial and class inequalities shape family formation and STEM participation. Scientific Awards: No specific awards mentioned in source materials Professor Sassler actively mentors through collaborative research projects like Collaborative Research: Early Career Transitions into STEM Employment (2014), indicating grant-funded work examining structural barriers for women in technical fields. Her extensive co-authorship network suggests significant graduate student supervision, though formal advisee lists aren't documented.
