Dr. Mark Quinn

Mark K. Quinn graduated from the University of Manchester in 2009 with an MEng(Hons) in Aerospace Engineering. He then went on to complete a PhD in Experimental Aerodynamics, particularly focused on unsteady compressible aerodynamics and flow diagnostics at the University of Manchester. During this time, he authored multiple journal papers and attended several international conferences, including hosting one in Manchester. During his PhD, he worked as a member of the UoM Widening Participation team focusing on outreach activities focused around engineering and science. Upon completing his PhD in 2013, he began work at the Aircraft Research Association on optical flow diagnostics. In late 2014, he returned to the University of Manchester as a Knowledge Exchange Fellow for Aerospace developing links between industrial partners and academic researchers. He was a Lecturer in the school from 2015 to 2020 and is currently a Senior Lecturer delivering teaching material based on his research interests of experimentation while continuing to work closely with the Aircraft Research Association and other industrial partners. His main research interests are transonic and supersonic aerodynamics, experimental aerodynamics, and experimental design, and has received funding from the European Commission, European Space Agency, InnovateUK, and several industrial partners.
