Joe Quinn

Biography

Joe Quinn is a highly motivated researcher with a strong background in electron microscopy, nanofabrication, electrochemistry, and finite element method-based interfacial modeling. Productive projects focused on energy storage/conversion processes stemmed from a coordinated effort between creative experimental design, cutting-edge characterization techniques, and comprehensive modeling to accurately describe complex systems.

As a postdoctoral researcher at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, he has specialized in electron microscope characterization of battery materials. He has developed expertise in cryogenic scanning transmission electron microscopy and plasma-focused ion beam/scanning electron microscopy to study battery materials at the angstrom to electrode scale.
