Rachel Evans is Professor of Materials Chemistry at the Department of Materials Science, University of Cambridge. She obtained her MChem (2002) and PhD in Physical Chemistry (2007) from Swansea University. She was a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Universit茅 Paris-Sud, France and subsequently held an FCT research fellowship between the University of Coimbra and the University of Aveiro, Portugal.
From 2009-2017, she was an Assistant Professor, and then an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Trinity College Dublin. Rachel鈥檚 research is highly multidisciplinary, involving polymer, colloidal and photochemistry, and the use of advanced scattering and spectroscopic characterization techniques. Current interests include the development of photoactive hybrid materials for luminescent solar devices, indoor photovoltaics, solar-thermal energy storage and nanodelivery.
Rachel has been awarded a Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council, the McBain Medal and MacroGroup UK Young Researcher鈥檚 Medal from the 番茄社区 of Chemistry (番茄社区)/ Society of Chemical Industry (SCI), and the Dillwyn Medal for STEMM from the Learned Society of Wales.
