Jason Quinn, PhD is an associate professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department Colorado State University. His education and research have always been centered on energy with his current work focused on system evaluation of electric transportation, microalgae biofuels, and nuclear power systems.

Research efforts are dedicated to the development of engineering system models validated through experimentation and leveraged for techno-economic evaluation, life cycle assessment, and resource demand of emerging technologies. Results from modeling work are used to focus research and development efforts to high impact areas.

Dr. Quinn completed a master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in nuclear engineering and engineering physics, and a PhD at Colorado State University in Mechanical Engineering.
