As an IEEE Life Fellow, IEEE –SMC president, and as ABET accrediting member, he was very much involved, at national level, in research and educational activities. As chairman of ECE department at Ohio University and Director of Division of Engineering at UTSA, he gained considerable administrative experience in the operation of academic programs and research grants. Over the years he was an investigator, co-PI and PI to multimillion- dollar grants from NASA, DoD, FAA, DoE, NSF and industry. Most recently, he was co-_PI to a DoD grant (telecommunication networks, 1996-2001), PI (subcontract) to DoD contract to a minority institution(telecommunications and software, 1999-2004), PI (subcontract) to AFOSR/CIAS grant (Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks security, 2002- ), PI (2004-2005) a planning grant from NSF-CISE to develop collaborative alliance program with other institutions and industry to increase women and minority graduates in computing fields, PI to current grant NSF-CNS/CRI 2006-2009 (Experimental Research in High Performance Computing and Wireless Networking). He supervised thesis and directed research by several of these students. His current area of research is in the area of Communication Systems and wireless networks security. He has been a panelist and reviewer for numerous proposals for the National Science Foundation, Washington, DC. He has also been a reviewer for several IEEE Transactions. He is listed in American Men and Women in Science, Who’s Who in America, the Dictionary of International Biography, and Outstanding Intellectuals of 21st century.
