Dr James A Quinn is a Research Associate in Composite Design and Testing at The University of Edinburgh and a member of the MATTERS Group, where his role focuses on connecting innovative research to practical applications. 

He is experienced in many aspects of composite testing, with current research interests in multifunctional composite materials and structures. Building on his background in asset maintenance of thick marine composite structures, he is also involved in: 

  • electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance in composite structures
  • multifunctional composite materials and structures
  • non-destructive testing (particularly of thick fibre-reinforced polymer structures)
  • mechanics of thick or large composites including sandwich structures
  • fracture mechanics of polymer composites
  • repair of polymers and polymer-composites.

 

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Asset Maintenance of Thick Section Fibre-Reinforced Composite Structures, University of Edinburgh, 2024

Master of Mechanical Engineering with Honours (MEng), University of Edinburgh, 2019
