Statement of Support
“I am pleased to lend my full support for the concept and future reality of a university that sets high academic standards whilst encouraging and embedding the open discussion, exploration and practice of Christian faith, compassion, and kindness within course curricula and its overall learning environment. Indeed, the harmonious co-existence of high academic standards and faith in God applies to some of the greatest mathematical and scientific minds of the past, and the opportunity to attend a university campus where these often segregated aforementioned elements are united within most aspects of learning would appeal to a significant portion of the Australian population. My support naturally comes with the knowledge that such a university will respect and encourage open dialogue on differing theological and academic views which adds to the appeal of the unique learning environment on offer.”
Professional Biography
Dr Simeoni is a medical and theoretical atomic/quantum physicist, with his main Medical Physics position being at the Royal Brisbane Hospital (RBH), significantly as the first QUT Medical Physics student to gain such employment within the RBH Physical Sciences Department. During his time as an RBH Medical Physicist Dr Simeoni was the State-wide Coordinator of the Mammography Quality Assurance Program for Queensland Health and played a notable role in the program’s development at that time.
Dr Simeoni became quite fond of the city of Townsville as he travelled the State for the above professional role, and eventually chose to leave the RBH to complete his PhD under scholarship at the James Cook University of North Queensland. The completion of his PhD introduced Dr Simeoni to a new career path in academia at Griffith University. A primary role, which he held for over 10 years within academia, began as a First Year Co-ordinator and then evolved into the more formalised role of First Year Advisor, with these roles providing academic and pastoral support to students during their transition into the first year of university.
Dr Simeoni progressed from Associate Lecturer to Lecturer to Senior Lecturer within academia and, in addition to teaching and service (his main focuses), he accumulated a mix of original peer-reviewed publications spanning several scientific disciplines. Dr Simeoni has at least ten published scientific discoveries or innovations to his credit including:
(i) The deconstruction and understanding of brain wave complexity (latest research), (ii) An analytical extension to Bohr’s model of the hydrogen atom which matches the accuracy of Dirac’s relativist model, (iii) The development of an original Fourier analysis algorithm with computational advantages, (iv) The development of a thermodynamics-based model of the “human body engine” which accurately models physiological aspects such as the slow component of oxygen uptake kinetics, (v) The first researcher to apply bispectral analysis techniques to the electromyogram (EMG), (vi) The development of a mathematical model of rowing that is simple yet highly effective, (vii) The development of a highly original and influencing physics unification approach that includes precise electron mass generation and that is broadly readable (written for senior high school mathematics/physics students), (viii) The development of an original MRI reconstruction algorithm, (ix) The development of an original and digitally powerful phase-shift keying approach to radio wave communication with applications towards quantum computing, and (x) The first discovery of several mathematics-in-nature findings (e.g., evidence for the Fibonacci sequence within human brain waves and bird feathers, the identification of noble gas magic numbers in quark and quasar systems, and so on).
Dr Simeoni taught Senior Physics and Mathematics classes at Caloundra City Private School, Pelican Waters, from 2016 to 2019. This teaching period is described by Dr Simeoni as being extremely enjoyable due to the marvellous students and small class sizes and, during this period, he also put the wheels in motion for establishing the new UNET journal of Science and Society for which he is currently enjoying the challenge of being Chief Editor.
