About Amanda Evans
As a Scientist 4 at Los Alamos National Laboratory, I apply my PhD in Chemistry and my expertise in biochemistry and organic chemistry to develop and characterize novel biomaterials for various applications. I have over 5 years of experience in this role, and I am passionate about advancing the scientific knowledge and innovation in this field. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at California State University, Fullerton, where I led a research group that utilized both batch and continuous processing approaches for making molecules. I integrated chemical, biological, synthetic, and photochemical methods for active compound generation, and I established the use of immobilized genetically-engineered enzymes for more sustainable and efficient synthesis of chiral molecules. I also taught and mentored undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry and related disciplines. I have multiple publications, patents, and awards for my research contributions.
