Davis J. McGregor, Ph.D. is Director of the MIRAGE Lab and Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Dr. McGregor is interested in how software and data can be leveraged to improve manufacturing and part qualification. He investigates methods for automating metrology of diverse part geometries using computer vision and computational geometry, and is developing machine learning models for rapidly qualifying additively manufactured parts. He is especially interested in developing models for qualifying part designs that have never previously been made, enabling first-time-right manufacturing strategies for additive manufacturing.

Before joining the University of Maryland in 2023, Dr. McGregor was Staff Manufacturing Scientist at Fast Radius, which was acquired by SyBridge Technologies in December 2022. While there, he led the development of manufacturing intelligence algorithms and the framework for continuous feedback and improvement of machine learning models.

Dr. McGregor received a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He has published 11 journal articles with over 250 citations and is part of 5 pending patent disclosures.
