Mat Evans

Professor Mat Evans’ research focuses on the use of computer models to help deal with problems like climate change and air pollution.

“Some of society’s biggest challenges like air pollution and climate change involve understanding the chemistry and physics of the atmosphere. As well as being at the cutting edge of this science, the research is great fun and allows us to visit some amazing places.”

“My interest in atmospheric chemistry began during my undergraduate course. It was a fascinating balance between high level science and a pressing societal need. If anyone asked me in the pub what my job was, it was easier to explain why we were researching air quality and climate change rather than talk about some obscure molecule with some fascinating but obscure properties!“

“As my career has continued I’ve been able to work at some top institutions with some leading scientists, fly in research aircraft at 100ft over the Pacific, camp in the tropical rain forest, present evidence to Parliament and teach some fantastic students. What isn’t there to love?”
