Greg Kremer began his career as a mechanical design engineer for General Electric Aircraft Engines (1988-1993) before pursuing his advanced degrees. He joined Ohio University in 1998, where he has been chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering from 2006 to 2024 and teaches the program’s senior design capstone, "Designing to Make a Difference." Kremer, selected as a Carnegie Scholar for 2005-2006, participates in the teaching of learning with such projects as developing and assessing student achievement of professional skills outcomes — ABET accreditation board outcomes related to teamwork, communication, global/societal impact, ethics, lifelong learning, contemporary issues, and others. He is the department’s organizer for assessment and continuous improvement. Kremer is also advisor for the student chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers, and other vehicle-related projects.

Research Interests: Mechanical design and new product development, Integrative Education & Community Engagement, Sustainable Energy and the Environment

All Degrees Earned: Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering, University of Cincinnati, 1998; M.S., Mechanical Engineering, University of Cincinnati, 1995; B.S., Mechanical Engineering, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, 1989

Something you may not know about me: Kremer loves to experience nature on foot or on a mountain bike. He has competed in 6 marathons, numerous 100 mile mountain bike races, and other endurance and adventure races. He's also very active in his church community.
