Research Professor and Executive Director, CISM
Professor Quinn works in magnetospheric physics with a focus on plasma transport, energization, source and loss processes. He has developed instrumentation for several space missions, including CRRES, Equator-S, and Cluster, and served as Co-Principal Investigator for the Electron Drift Instrument, which measures plasma drifts using a weak electron beam. Professor Quinn is currently Executive Director for the Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling (CISM).
