Clare Philomena Grey FRS is Geoffrey Moorhouse Gibson Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, a Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge and the Associate Director of the Northeastern Chemical Energy Storage Center at Stony Brook University.
Education
Grey received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1987 followed by a Doctor of Philosophy degree in chemistry in 1991, both from the University of Oxford. Her doctoral thesis research used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magic angle spinning (MAS) to study rare-earth pyrochlores and was supervised by Anthony Cheetham.
Career and research
After a postdoctoral research position at the University of Nijmegen and a period as a visiting researcher at DuPont, she was appointed a professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. In 2009, she became the Geoffrey Moorhouse Gibson Professor in Materials Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.
From 2009-2010 she was the Director of the Northeastern Chemical Energy Storage Center, and associate director 2011-2014. She is current the director of the EPSRC Centre for Advanced Materials for Integrated Systems.
Grey’s research specialises in applications of nuclear magnetic resonance and its use to study lithium ion batteries.
Awards and honours
Grey was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2011 and awarded the Günther Laukien Prize in 2013 followed by the Davy Medal in 2014 for “further pioneering applications of solid state nuclear magnetic resonance to materials of relevance to energy and the environment.”
Other awards, honours and career highlights include:
- 2008 Vaughan Lecturer
- 2010 John Jeyes Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry
- 2011 Kavli Medal
