He is a member of the Editorial Board of Designs, Codes and Cryptography and Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computing. His research interests include Coding Theory, Cryptography, Informatics, Fuzzy Theory, and Artificial Intelligence, hoping to find a method to unify all of these + alpha in his lifetime just as Rene Descartes discovered a Cartesian coordinate system which unifies Algebra and Geometry and included a quotation "Cogito ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am") which unifies the human mind and body.
