Dr Alastair Gregory
Alastair is an engineer with interests in fluid mechanics, acoustics, and medicine. He came to Cambridge in 2010 to read engineering, during which he won the Rex Moir and Morien Morgan prizes.
Alastair stayed in Cambridge to complete his doctoral work under the supervision of Anurag Agarwal.
He is working on understanding how various bodily sounds, such as wheezing and crackling, are produced, with the aim of improving the utility of these sounds in non-invasive diagnosis.
In his free time, he sails, hikes, and sings, and has been building a 7ft sailing dinghy in the Dyson Center in the Department of Engineering.
