Mark Quinn

Dr. Mark Quinn is a Senior University Teacher in Physics and Employability Lead for Physics at the University of Sheffield's School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. His research focuses on physics education, intense laser-plasma interactions, laser-driven particle accelerators, and space debris remediation. He leads the Level 1 Physics Laboratory and contributes to initiatives like the ShePHERD research group.

His work includes studies on laser-driven proton radiography, space debris removal via coherent amplifying network (CAN) lasers, and electron transport dynamics in high-intensity laser-solid interactions. Quinn has co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications since 2003, spanning topics from plasma physics to astrophysical observations with gamma-ray telescopes.

Teaching responsibilities include computational physics courses (PHY236) and professional skills development (PHY113). Collaborations involve international projects such as the LIBRA initiative for laser-driven ion sources and radiobiology applications.
