Professor Derek Fray FREng FRS is Emeritus Professor of Materials Chemistry and Director of Research in the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy at the University of Cambridge. He leads the Materials Chemistry Research Group.

The group's research includes work on novel materials synthesis (including characterization and applications of inorganic and hybrid inorganic-organic framework materials), on corrosion and electrocatalysts, and on solid electrolytes and electrodes for sensors detecting species in the environment and molten metals. Their world-leading FFC Cambridge Process for electro-deoxidation of metal oxides has attracted widespread industrial interest.
