Austin M. Evans — Evans Research Group

Austin M. Evans is an organic materials chemist who is interested in controlling soft-matter at multiple length scales concurrently. Specifically, his research is targeted at producing electronic and spintronic soft-matter through both covalent and non-covalent approaches. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Florida, Austin was a Schmidt Science Fellow at Columbia University where he worked on organic electronic materials with Latha Venkataraman and Colin Nuckolls. Austin completed his PhD under the direction of William R. Dichtel as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow at Northwestern University, where he developed new methods to control two-dimensional polymerization. Austin originally hails from Oklahoma, where he earned his undergraduate degrees at the University of Tulsa. Outside of the lab, Austin enjoys hiking, kayaking, and generally appreciating the Florida wilderness.
