Steven Meikle is a Professor of Medical Imaging Physics and Head of the Imaging Physics Laboratory at the Brain and Mind Centre, University of Sydney. He also serves as Deputy Director (Preclinical) of Sydney Imaging and Deputy Director of the National Imaging Facility's Sydney node. His expertise spans advanced imaging technologies, with a focus on PET/SPECT instrumentation and molecular imaging. He holds a B.App.Sc.(Hons) from the University of Technology Sydney and a PhD from the University of New South Wales.
Research focuses include developing novel PET systems like Open-field PET (for freely moving rodents) and Total Body PET, which enhance imaging sensitivity and enable real-time behavioral studies alongside brain function analysis. Collaborations include Tsinghua University (China) and UC Davis (USA). He leads projects on motion correction, quantitative imaging, and AI-driven analysis.
Key achievements include over 180 peer-reviewed publications, editorial roles in Physics in Medicine and Biology, and leadership in professional societies. Awards include IEEE Senior Membership and Australian Institute of Physics Fellowship. Current student projects explore Total Body PET applications, motion correction, and radiopharmaceutical evaluation.
Teaching roles include medical physics courses in diagnostic radiography and medical physics programs. He advises on imaging ethics, facility implementation, and translational research bridging basic science and clinical applications.
