Jack Evans

Dr. Jack Evans is a Grant-Funded Researcher (B) in the School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide. His research focuses on computational chemistry and the development of emerging materials, particularly through collaborations with experimental groups like the Sumby-Doonan team. He specializes in understanding chemical/physical properties of novel materials via computational methods and synthetic approaches.

Evans holds editorial roles, including Board Member of Communications Materials (Springer Nature Group) since 2024. He is eligible to supervise Masters and PhD candidates, emphasizing computational chemistry and materials design. His work spans supramolecular architectures, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and ligand engineering, with applications in catalysis, energy, and environmental science.

Notable contributions include designing ligand systems for low-symmetry metal cages and studying material elasticity/adsorption phenomena. His research integrates computational modeling with experimental synthesis to advance functional materials science.
