Professor Allan Paull is the DSTG Chair of Future Hypersonic Technologies at the University of Queensland. Allan completed his Bachelor of Science in Applied physics and PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Queensland in 1987. He is now a world leading expert in hypersonics and scramjet technology which has applications for access to space, defence and potentially international travel in the future. He was the international program leader for the HYSHOT Scramjet Test Program at UQ, and was the first person in the world to achieve the first successful test flight of a scramjet engine, reaching speeds of up to 2.3km/second or Mach 7.6. I’ve known Allan from my time studying at the University of Queensland, when I was initially exposed to hypersonics and scramjet technology. Allan, thank you for joining me on today’s podcast.
