Professional Activities
I have been involving and serving professional societies for more than three decades. The experience has been extremely positive and rewarding. It allows me to meet many colleagues, friends, scholars, researchers all around the worlds, and have established national and international connections and friendship through the professional activities, edifying each others, develop mutually beneficial programs to advance education, research, and technology developments.
