Xiaoming Zheng

Dr. Xiaoming Zheng is a Senior Lecturer in Medical Physics at Charles Sturt University's School of Dentistry and Medical Sciences, based at the Wagga Wagga campus. With extensive clinical experience as a former medical physicist at Prince of Wales Hospital Sydney, he has been teaching medical radiation science courses at CSU since 1998 across undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

His educational background includes a BSci, MSci, and PhD in Solid State Physics from the University of Newcastle, followed by postdoctoral research in Applied Mathematics at the University of Wollongong. Previous academic appointments include Associate Lecturer in Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Sydney and Assistant Lecturer in Physics at Zhejiang University China.

• Research Focus: Medical imaging physics, radiation dose optimization, image quality, computer-assisted diagnosis, and neuroimaging
• Key Discoveries: Governing equations for clinical X-ray CT imaging enabling dose reduction, body size-dependent CT number correction factors

His recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate strong focus on CT imaging optimization, mammography techniques, and Alzheimer's disease detection using MRI, with significant contributions to radiation dose reduction protocols and image quality standards. These works span medical physics, radiology, and neuroimaging disciplines with emphasis on practical clinical applications.

Scientific Recognition:

• Jean I Widge Distinguished Author Award (2019)
• Research Prize from AART, USA for X-ray CT dose reduction patent
• Research Prize from CIOFMP, China for CT beam hardening correction patent

As a registered principal PhD supervisor, Dr. Zheng has received multiple research grants and maintains active collaborations through professional societies including the Australian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine. His work bridges clinical practice with academic research, particularly in developing personalized imaging protocols and rural healthcare applications.
