Mr

Liam McQuellin BEng MEng

DPhil Student

COLLEGE: Wolfson College

Biography

Liam McQuellin is a Doctoral candidate at the Oxford Thermofluids Institute, specialising in the measurement of wake flows emanating from planetary entry bodies at hypersonic speeds. He earned his Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Honors) degree from the Deakin University and graduated with a Master of Engineering Science with excellence from the University of New South Wales.

Prior to commencing his D.Phil candidature, Liam spent seven years as a research engineer with the hypersonics research group at the University of New South Wales where he supported research in hypersonic aerodynamics and hypersonic fluid-structure interactions.
