Biographical details
Steven Meikle is Professor of Medical Imaging Physics and Head of the Imaging Physics Laboratory at the Brain and Mind Research Institute, which is a node of the NCRIS-funded National Imaging Facility. He received his Bachelor of Applied Physics degree (Hons 1, University Medal) from the University of Technology, Sydney in 1988 and his Ph.D. degree from the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, University of New South Wales in 1995. He was a medical physicist at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney (1987-2004), a visiting research associate at the Division of Nuclear Medicine and Biophysics, UCLA School of Medicine in Los Angeles (1991-2) and a post doctoral research scientist at the MRC Cyclotron Unit, Hammersmith Hospital in London (1995-6) before joining the University of Sydney in 2004. Steven is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics, a Senior Member of the IEEE and a Visiting Professorial Fellow at the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics at the University of Wollongong. He serves on the International Advisory Board of the journal Physics in Medicine and Biology, the ANSTO Life Sciences Advisory Committee and is Co-Director of the Ramaciotti Imaging Centre at the Brain and Mind Research Institute.
Teaching and supervision
Professor Meikle teaches medical imaging physics in the Graduate Entry Masters (MRS) degrees and led the development of the Master of Molecular Imaging degree, for which he is Course Director. He has previously served as Head of the Discipline of Medical Radiation Sciences.
