Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry

Dr Matthew Evans

Research Fellow

I am a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Research Fellow in the group of Professor Dame Clare Grey FRS in the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. My research focuses on the development of the open source datalab platform and infrastructure for experimental data management in materials chemistry as a substrate for data- and AI-driven approaches to materials discovery and design.
