David M Evans holds the position of Chair in Pure Mathematics at the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Imperial College London. His academic career spans several decades with continuous research contributions in mathematical logic and its interdisciplinary applications.
Professor Evans' research focuses on the theoretical foundations and practical applications of Model Theory, with particular emphasis on:
- Stability theory and its generalizations within model-theoretic frameworks
- Hrushovski constructions and their geometric properties
- Interactions between model theory, algebra, and combinatorics
- Automorphism groups of infinite structures
- Ramsey properties in sparse graphs and metric spaces
His publication record demonstrates consistent innovation in geometric model theory, with recent work exploring amalgamation properties in measured structures, simplicity of automorphism groups, and EPPA (Extension Property for Partial Automorphisms) in various mathematical structures. His research bridges abstract model-theoretic concepts with concrete combinatorial and algebraic applications, particularly in the study of homogeneous structures and their automorphism groups.
Professor Evans has supervised numerous doctoral students including D. G. D. Gray, Reinhold Konnerth, Herwig Nuebling, Marco Antonio Semana Ferreira, Yibei Li, and Robert Sullivan. His research has been supported by grants such as 'Model theory of generic structures and simple theories' and the 'Workshop on Pure Model Theory,' reflecting the significance of his contributions to the field.
