Qualifications Doctor of Philosophy - Griffith University Bachelor of Exercise Science (Honours 1) - Griffith University Bachelor of Exercise Science - Griffith University Assistant Professor Simmonds joined Bond University in 2011 after pursuing research principally investigating the effects of physical activity and/or chronic disease on haemorheology. He has several years of industry experience working with Gold Coast specialists for the assessment and treatment of sleep-related disorders. More recently, he is working with rural and remote partners investigating early signs of cardiovascular diseases.
