Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Evans is Chair-Elect and an Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he also serves as the Strauch Family Endowed Faculty Fellow and leads the Computational Mechanics and Geometry Laboratory. He has nine years of faculty experience and a PhD in Computational and Applied Mathematics from UT Austin, specializing in high-order, structure-preserving numerical methods for CFD, turbulence, structural mechanics, and fluid–structure interaction. His lab advances design-aware analysis—surrogate and multi-fidelity modeling, shape and topology optimization, and tolerance analysis—bridging computational mechanics, geometry, and approximation theory. Known for developing practical simulation technologies for aerospace, naval, and energy systems, he combines rigorous numerical analysis with an eye toward engineering design workflows. Beyond research, he stewards undergraduate curriculum efforts and builds interdisciplinary tools that compress complex physics into usable design-facing software.
