Participation in editorial boards of scientific journals/book series
I was technical program chair / topic convener for the session: “Synchrotron, FEL and Beamline Instrumentation” for the international conference “IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference”, Vancouver, Canada, November 2023

I was topic convener for the session: “Synchrotron Radiation, Accelerator, FEL and Beamline Instrumentation” for the IEEE NSS MIC conference, Milan, Italy, November 2022

I was topic convener for the session: “Synchrotron Radiation, Accelerator, FEL and Beamline Instrumentation” for the IEEE NSS MIC conference, Yokohama, Japan, October 2021
Participation as referees of national and international research projects
During the period 2023–2025, I served as Chair of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Detector Advisory Committee (LDAC), SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford, USA, a role I have held since 2022. The role of the committee is to advise the LCLS top management on issues relating to the development, management, and operational support of complex X-ray detector systems used at the LCLS facility. https://lcls.slac.stanford.edu/people/ldac

In 2022 I served as a reviewer for a proposal submitted to the BES Accelerator and Detector Research Program of the Department of Energy (DOE) in the United States

In 2014 I served as a reviewer for the Discovery Grants of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada
