Jack D. Evans earned his BSc in Chemistry and Physics from the University of Adelaide in 2010, followed by BSc (Honours) in Chemistry in 2011. He completed his PhD in Chemical Sciences at the University of Adelaide in 2016. After graduation, Dr. Evans pursued postdoctoral research in computational chemistry at Chimie ParisTech, France (2015-2017), followed by a prestigious Humboldt Research Fellowship at TU Dresden, Germany (2017-2021). In 2021, he returned to the University of Adelaide as a Ramsay Fellow and subsequently secured an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. He currently holds a position as Researcher and Senior Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry.
Dr. Evans' research focuses on developing computational frameworks to understand and predict the behavior of responsive materials, particularly porous frameworks for gas separation and catalysis. His notable contributions include: 1) pioneering machine learning approaches for simulating amorphous porous materials at unprecedented scales; 2) establishing universal standards for adsorption data that have been adopted by instrument manufacturers worldwide; 3) developing thermodynamic models that explain the counterintuitive behavior of flexible metal-organic frameworks; 4) creating computational tools that bridge atomic-scale mechanisms with macroscopic material properties. His recent contribution on the origins of elasticity in molecular materials, published in Nature Materials, challenges conventional understanding of mechanical properties in crystalline systems.
Dr. Evans has published over 80 peer-reviewed journal articles in internationally renowned journals including Nature Materials, Nature Chemistry, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Nature Communications, Journal of the American Chemical Society, and Angewandte Chemie. He has secured over $1.7 million in research funding, including projects with PETRONAS and Rio Tinto. His research excellence has been recognized through multiple awards including the Walter Kalkhof-Rose Memorial Prize (2020) and selection as one of "35 under 35" principal investigators in materials science by Matter journal (2024). Additionally, he currently serves on the editorial board of Communications Materials.
