Professional Service

I am a Senior member of the IEEE, and a member of the IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Vehicular Technology Society, and IEEE Signal Processing Society. Between 2017-2022, I was an Editor of the IEEE Transactions in Communications, in the area of Wireless Communications. Since 2023, I am an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security. My review profile at Publons is available here.

I regularly serve as a reviewer for:

• Journals: IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, IEEE Trans. Wireless Commun., IEEE Trans. Commun., IEEE Trans. Veh. Technol., IEEE J. Sel. Areas Commun., IEEE Commun. Magazine, IEEE Wireless Commun., IEEE Commun. Lett., IEEE Wireless Commun. Lett., IET Electronic Lett., IEEE Signal Processing Lett., IEEE Veh. Technol. Mag., IEEE Trans. Information Forensics and Security, IEEE Trans. Signal Processing, IEEE Trans. Mobile Computing, Nature Scientific Reports, IEEE Trans. Antennas and Propagation.
  

• Conferences (TPC): ICC, Globecom, VTC, ISWCS (special session WPC)

I have also served as a TPC chair for the following conferences: IEEE ISPLC 2020, IEEE CTW 2022, IEEE CommNet 2022, IEEE VTC 2023 (T1: Antenna Systems, Propagations, and RF Design), and ICC 2024 (Communication Theory Symposium). I am the general chair for the IEEE WCNC 2025 Workshop on Physical Layer Security.
