John Joseph Quinn (born 1933) is a well-known American theoretical physicist as well as an academic administrator; he is a former Chancellor and currently a member of the faculty at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA. He is considered to be an expert in the areas of solid-state physics and many-body theory including two dimensional Composite fermions, low-dimensional systems, quantum Hall effect and nanoscience. Quinn was also one of the first researchers to recognize that physics of ‘two-dimensional electronic systems’ needs to be treated as a professional-sub-specialty. ==Life, education and career== John Quinn did his undergraduate studies at St. John's University where in 1954, he completed a B.S. with Summa Cum Laude. He earned his doctoral (1958) in Physics from the University of Maryland in USA. His doctoral research at Maryland was in “Self-Energy Approach to Correlations in a Degenerate Electron Gas” under the supervision of Professor R.A. Ferrell. From 1989 -1992 Quinn was the Chancellor of the University of Tennessee; where since 1992 he has held the Willis Lincoln Chair of Excellence, Professor of Physics and Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics. This is the flagship campus of University of Tennessee system and holds a close relationship with the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), ORNL was established at one of the original sites of the Manhattan Project and remains one of the largest nuclear facilities in the world. Starting from 1965, for nearly quarter of a century Quinn was at the Brown University in Rhode Island, USA. Between 1986 and 1989 Quinn was Dean of the Faculty. Before taking up the position of the dean, from 1965 to 1989 he was in the physics department at Brown as Professor of Physics. Earlier, from 1959 to 1965 Quinn was Member of Technical Staff, at the RCA Laboratories, in Princeton, NJ.
