Clare Grey, FRS, is a British chemist. She is Geoffrey Moorhouse Gibson Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge, a Fellow of Pembroke College and the Associate Director of the Northeastern Chemical Energy Storage Center at Stony Brook University.

Career

Clare Grey received a bachelors of arts degree (1987) and her doctorate in Chemistry (1991), both from the University of Oxford. Her doctoral thesis was on the NMR study of rare-earth pyrochlores under Anthony Cheetham. After a postdoctoral position at the University of Nijmegen and a visiting researcher at DuPont, she became a professor at the State University at Stony Brook. In 2009, she became the Geoffrey Moorhouse Gibson Professor in Materials Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. [1]

Research

Grey specialises in applications of nuclear magnetic resonance and in particular using it to study lithium ion batteries.[2][3] She was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 2011[4] and awarded the Günther Laukien prize in 2013[2] 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."[5]
