I have successfully supervised 23 research students, and presently supervise another 2 PhDs. I have won several international prizes for my works, with over 12 years industrial experience and founder of 3 limited companies. I continue as expert adviser to the EU and several national governments at ministerial level since 1994, I am a member of the advisor pool to UK Government Office for Science and member of UKRI Talent Peer Review College.

I am reviewer for granting agencies in Australia, Germany, Israel, Kazakhstan, Norway, Poland, Qatar, Switzerland and USA, and for many Q1 and Q2 journals, including IEEE.
