He is a past chairman of the Hong Kong Chapter of the Â鶹´«Ã½AV Information Theory Society. He is currently an Editor of the Â鶹´«Ã½AV Transactions on Wireless Communications and  was a guest/associate editor for several special sections of the IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals . During 2003 to 2008, he was a member of the Radio Spectrum Advisory Committee, Office of the Telecommunications Authority, the Hong Kong S.A.R. Government.
