Following the completion of his doctoral degree from the University of Arizona in 2014, Greg joined ASU in 2015. He worked in two research laboratories under Dr. Janet Neisewander and Dr. Cassandra Gipson-Reichardt studying animal models of drug use disorders and the underlying neuroscience. In 2018, he became the program coordinator for the Workforce Inclusion in Neuroscience through Undergraduate Research Experience (WINURE) and the lab manager for Dr. Neisewander, continuing his research on drug abuse while helping underrepresented minorities prepare for graduate education in neuroscience.
In 2021, Greg shifted to a career in safety and regulatory compliance and became the Animal Biosafety Officer in the Environmental Health and Safety Department. He also works on the Field Safety program within EHS.
