Raymond E. Frey (b. 1956) is an American physicist on the faculty of the University of Oregon. His research interests include gravitational wave detection and astrophysics.
Early life and education
Born in 1956, Ray Frey is the son of USAF Lt. Col. Raymond E. Frey and Ellen L. (née Hagerstrand) Frey.[2] In 1978 he completed his undergraduate degree at the University of California, Irvine, and earned an M.S. (1981) and a Ph.D. in physics in 1984 at the University of California, Riverside, specializing in Experimental High Energy Physics.[3]
