Dr Ricardo Simeoni

Dr Simeoni is the previous co-ordinator of the (awarded) mammography quality assurance program to public breast screening centres in Queensland, as well as the previous State Secretary of the Australasian College of Physical Scientist and Engineers in Medicine, and his performances in these roles received documented accolades from clinicians and colleagues. Dr Simeoni has received a total of six awards from the three largest Universities in Queensland, including two academic prizes (Physics Staff and Centre for Medical and Health Physics prizes), a merit of academic distinction, and three commendations (two being for teaching). Dr Simeoni was the first QUT Medical Physics graduate to be employed as a clinical/medical physicist at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, and many graduates have since followed that employment path. Dr Simeoni was also previously awarded first place in the annual senior category of his surf lifesaving club on the Sunshine Coast.
