John A. Quinn
John A. Quinn, Ph.D. is the Robert D. Bent Professor Emeritus of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science.〔University of Pennsylvania faculty profile of John Quinn. http://che.seas.uppenn.edu/about-people/faculty/profile-=quinn.php.〕 He has been a leader in the fields of mass transfer and membrane transport in synthetic membranes since the 1960s.〔Matson, S.L. and J.L. Anderson, "John A. Quinn: Selected Career Achievements", ''Ind. Eng. Chem. Res.'' 41 (2002) 311-315. http://pubs.acs.org/journal/iecred〕 In the early phase of his career at the University of Illinois, Quinn and his students devised simple, elegant experiments to elucidate the role of the interface in mass transfer between phases. In later work at Penn, he applied these insights to problems of engineering and biological significance involving chemical reaction and diffusion within and through both finely porous and reactive membranes. His chemical engineering science has informed matters as far afield as the separation of chiral pharmaceuticals and the behavior of cells at interfaces.
==Education and academic career==
John Quinn received his B.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Illinois in 1954 and his Ph.D. in the same field from Princeton University in 1958 under Joe Elgin and Leon Lapidus. Upon receiving his doctorate, he returned to Illinois to join the faculty. Promotions to the ranks of Associate Professor followed in 1964, and then to Full Professor just two years later in 1966—the same year in which he was awarded the Allan P. Colburn Award of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) in recognition of his research publications.〔Allan P. Colburn Award for Excellence in Publications, AIChE. http://www.aiche.org/about/awards/allanpcolburn.aspx〕 A dozen years later Quinn would receive AIChE's Alpha Chi Sigma Award.〔Alpha Chi Sigma Award for Outstanding Chemical Engineering Research, AIChE. http://www.aiche.org/about/awards/alphachisigmaAward.aspx〕
In 1971 John Quinn moved from Illinois to the University of Pennsylvania, where in 1978 he was designated the first recipient of its Robert D. Bent endowed professorship.〔Robert D. Bent Endowed Professorship in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/volumes/v58/n12/discher.html〕 He served Penn’s Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering as Chairman from 1980 to 1985, a time that saw the early beginnings of a substantial shift in the field of chemical engineering to one that would eventually encompass and embrace many emerging areas of biology and biotechnology. Whereas the department had long been recognized as a center of classical biochemical/fermentation engineering due to the research programs of Profs. Arthur Humphrey (and subsequently John Quinn) at Penn, Quinn was among the first of his peers to recognize the potential for applying the quantitative insights and methods of chemical engineering to the development and exploitation of a molecular-level understanding of biological components, systems, and processes. His tenure and leadership as Chairman provided a platform for a substantial expansion of the departmental faculty and its areas of research into this “biomolecular” domain, culminating in 2003 with its name change to the “Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering”.〔History of the Dept. of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, Univ. of Pennsylvania. http://www.cbe.seas.upenn.edu/about-cbe/history.php〕
Among other appointments, John Quinn has been visiting professor at Imperial College, London (1965-6 and 1986; visiting scientist at MIT (1980); Sherman Fairchild Scholar at Caltech (1985); and visiting professor at the University of Rome (1992). He has also served as a member of several commissions and boards operating under the auspices of the National Research Council, including the Engineering Research Board, the Board of Chemical Sciences and Technology, the Committee on Separation Science and Technology, and the Amundson Committee on Chemical Engineering Frontiers.
