Dr Stuart Grey
Video: An Introduction to the Principles of Design - University of Glasgow - STEM in 10
August 2023
In a recent talk I discuss the complexities of engineering design, advocating for a cyclical, iterative approach over a simple linear one. I emphasize the role of error correction, the importance of blending theoretical and experiential knowledge, and the need for diverse teams and effective communication in solving global challenges.
Video: A History of Space Debris - University of Glasgow Taster Lecture
May 2022
In this short video I give a quick overview of the history of space debris, including attempting to answer the questions, "What is space debris?", "Where is space debris?" and "How can we remove space debris?".

A History of Space Debris - Public Lecture at the Wolf Humanities Center at the University of Pennsylvania
March 2019
The space race and more recent commercial space activities have led to a proliferation of objects in Earth’s orbit. What exactly are these objects? How do they behave? Who are we leaving them for? Is it junk or can it be reclaimed? Dr. Stuart Grey considers our role in polluting space and how this circulation of material impacts the future.
