Rachel Claire Evans FRSC FIMMM FLSW is a Welsh chemist based at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge. She works on photoactive polymer-hybrid materials for solar devices, including organic photovoltaics and stimuli-responsive membranes.
Evans grew up in South Wales. She studied at Swansea University, earning a Master of Chemistry (MChem) degree in 2002. During her Masters, she completed an International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IASTE) fellowship at Lonza Group. She returned to Swansea University for her PhD, investigating on light-emitting materials for display technologies.
After her PhD, Evans spent a year at the University of Aveiro. She was subsequently awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship at the University of Paris where she worked as a postdoc on fluorescence of soft materials. Evans left Paris to join the University of Coimbra as a Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia postdoctoral fellow. She moved to Trinity College Dublin in 2009, where she was a lecturer in Physical Chemistry. Her re was funded by Science Foundation Ireland and Enterprise Ireland. She delivered the 2011 Royal Society of Chemistry Schools lecture on the Chemistry of Light. In 2013 she published the textbook Applied Photochemistry with Springer Publishing. They explored self-assembly of conjugated polyelectrolyte–polyoxometalate networks, with dimensions controlled by the polymer chain length and steric charge distribution. The self-assembly of these lumophores can be used to tune the optical and electronic properties. To understand the morphology of these films and inform the design of performance nanostructured devices, her group use small-angle scattering, spectroscopy and microscopy. Small-angle scattering allows her to study the microstructure of hybrid materials at the near atomic scale. Their conjugated polyelectrolyte work was featured in the ChemComm Emerging Investigators issue. She also worked on oxygen sensitive printable ink sensors.
