# Dr Stuart Grey

> Senior Lecturer in Engineering Systems Design at the University of Glasgow and founder of Student Voice AI. Research focuses on spacecraft orbit determination, space debris modelling, and applying machine learning to enhance teaching practices. Based in Glasgow, UK.

Dr Stuart Grey is an academic, researcher, and entrepreneur. He teaches across mechanical and aerospace engineering disciplines with a focus on systems engineering and the future of engineering skills. He also serves as an external examiner at King's College London (formerly University of Manchester).

Through [Student Voice AI](https://www.studentvoice.ai), he supports UK Higher Education by delivering AI-powered text analysis of student feedback, providing multi-dimensional categorisation, sentence-level analysis, sentiment evaluation, and sector benchmarking to universities and sector bodies across the UK.

His public engagement work focuses on space debris awareness and encouraging under-represented groups into engineering, including talks at the Royal Institution, BBC appearances, and viral space debris visualisations with millions of YouTube views.
