Capsule Biography:
Dr Damian Quinn graduated from Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) in 2005 with an RaeS accredited Master’s degree (First Class Honours) in Aeronautical Engineering. This was followed in 2010 by the completion of a PhD entitled “Panel Skin Sub-stiffening Concepts for Improved Structural Performance” from the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (QUB). Prior to joining the staff of QUB as a lecturer in Aircraft Structures in 2012, he undertook two industrially based Post-Doctoral research positions focusing on the analysis and design of aircraft structural components with Bombardier Aerospace and Constellium CRV (previously ALCAN CRV)
Research Interests:
Dr Damian Quinn’s research interests include the structural analysis and design of thin-walled structures, with a strong focus on aerospace applications. His research targets both metallic applications (analysis and optimized design considering advanced alloys, novel geometric design and new manufacturing methods) and composite applications (impact modeling, structural analysis and integrated design for manufacture). He has a keen interest in pursuing experimentally based research including material characterization, structural detail testing and higher TRL sub-component testing. His numerical research interests are centered on the finite element modeling of thin-walled structural components across multiple scales, including the sizing of large-scale aerospace components. A major element of his numerical research is FEM modeling automation and the interfacing of various design and analysis tools across multiple software platforms.
