Recognized as the world leader in advanced structural materials, Evans’ research focuses on performance and reliability of systems in a broad range of technologies, including energy, transportation, information, communication and health. Current interests include not only materials for structural systems, but also those with other functionality (electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal) and whose survivability depends on their ability to withstand stress without failure. Strong emphasis on mechanics of interfaces and thin films, with applications to electronic packaging and high temperature coatings for metallic components in gas turbines.
