Tim Evans

Tim Evans is a Senior Lecturer (equivalent to Associate Professor) in Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London, affiliated with the Centre for Complexity Science and the Physics of Universe group. His research focuses on complex systems, particularly the behavior of networks under constraints such as geography and time. He holds a Royal Society University Research Fellowship and has pioneered work in applying statistical physics to social systems, archaeology, and innovation dynamics. Evans teaches advanced courses including 'Data Science and Machine Learning for Physics' and 'Unification in Fundamental Physics,' and supervises undergraduate and MSc projects. His office is in H609, Huxley Building, South Kensington Campus.

Evans' academic journey includes a first degree in Natural Sciences at Cambridge, a PhD in Theoretical Physics at Imperial College, and postdoctoral research at the University of Alberta. His work bridges physics and interdisciplinary fields, with notable contributions to network science, quantum field theory, and the Science of Science. He collaborates widely, including with archaeologists and data scientists, and actively promotes public understanding of complexity through initiatives like the 'Sculplexity' project.
