Dame Clare Philomena Grey is Geoffrey Moorhouse Gibson Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge. Grey uses nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to study and optimize batteries.




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, under the supervision of Sir Anthony Cheetham, used nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magic angle spinning (MAS) to study rare-earth pyrochlores.




Career and research


Following Grey's graduate studies, she held a postdoctoral research position at the University of Nijmegen. From 1992 to 1993, she worked as a visiting researcher at DuPont. In 1994, Grey was appointed a professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and became full professor in 2001. In 2009, she became the Geoffrey Moorhouse Gibson Professor in Materials Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.
From 2009 to 2010 she was the Director of the Northeastern Chemical Energy Storage Center, and Associate Director from 2011 to 2014. She is current the director of the EPSRC Centre for Advanced Materials for Integrated Systems.
