Dr. Patryk Quinn is a senior research hydrogeologist working with Dr. Beth Parker in the G360 Institute for Groundwater Research. His research focus is on improving transmissivity (T) measurements from straddle packer testing by refining test equipment and test procedures using a multiple method approach.
Dr. Quinn's area of research is focused on hydraulically characterizing fractured rock boreholes using synergetic combination of straddle packer tests and FLUTe transmissivity profiling to improve values of T for calculating hydraulic apertures using the cubic law to inform DFN models. He has had direct involvement in several dozen projects (sites) across North America resulting in many publications from his research.
