Alexander Gregg

Alexander Gregg is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Monash University, Faculty of Engineering. He is actively involved in research and educational innovation, with a strong focus on engineering pedagogy and materials science. His work contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in Quality Education and Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.

Research Interests: Dr. Gregg's research spans Engineering Education, Additive Manufacturing, Residual Stress Analysis, and MAB phase materials. His work combines experimental techniques like neutron and X-ray diffraction with pedagogical studies to improve teaching quality and material performance in extreme environments.

Recent Research Trends: His recent publications (2023–2024) show a dual focus: (1) advancing materials science through studies of Inconel and MoAlB phases, and (2) transforming engineering education by analyzing video engagement, teaching capabilities, and institutional policies. This reflects a growing trend toward interdisciplinary research bridging technical and educational domains.

• Scientific Awards: No awards explicitly mentioned in the text.

Advising and Grants: Dr. Gregg serves as a Chief Investigator on two active research projects funded by Monash University and QUT. These include an interactive lab prototype for system identification and a national study on quality teaching in engineering education. While specific student advisees are not listed, his role in educational research suggests active mentorship and curriculum development.

Labs and Teams: He collaborates with researchers in neutron diffraction, materials characterization, and engineering education. His involvement in the 'Interactive Labs Prototype' project suggests leadership in developing hands-on learning tools for mechanical systems. He is also part of a multi-institutional team studying teaching quality across Australian engineering schools.
