more Planetary Nebulae (PNe) that are physical members of Galactic open clusters are powerful probes that allow precise determination of their distance and crucially their initial mass on the main sequence.

He also heads both the H-alpha international survey consortium and the associated 'MASH' Planetary nebulae team. Quentin is currently on the IAU working group on planetary nebulae. He has supervised and co-supervised a significant number of PhD, MSc and honours students to successful completion and is always keen to attract students. Research activities are mainly but not exclusively associated with Wide Field Astronomy, including large-scale redshift surveys, low-surface brightness galaxies, supernova remnants and especially Planetary Nebulae. for the UKST H-alpha survey of the Southern Galactic Plane. Quentin was responsible for helping to develop the FLAIR-II and 6DF fibre-spectroscopy systems at the UKST and supported the 2dF and AAOmega multi-object fibre spectroscopy systems on the AAT.Quentin was also P.I. Quentin also worked at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh (1986-1992), Anglo-Australian observatory (1992-1999) and as a senior research fellow at the Institute for Astronomy in Edinburgh (1999-2002). Prior to that he was the joint AAO/Macquarie lecturer in astronomy (2002-2015) and director of the research centre for Astronomy, Astrophysics and Astrophotonics (2010-2014). He joined the department of Physics at Hong Kong University in March 2014. Quentin is currently Director for the Laboratory for Space Research at the University of Hong Kong (Parker obtained a BSc(Hons) in 1982 and a PhD (1986) from the University of St.Andrews.
