He gave lectures on wave propagation in random media and HF
propagation in the disturbed ionosphere at the University of Uppsala
in 1993. He worked at the University of Leeds, UK as the
Professorial Research Fellow in 1999, 2001-02 and 2006-07. He also
worked as the Visiting Professor at the University of Newcastle, UK
in 2010. He undertook scientific visits to the Universities and

Britain, the Netherlands, USA and some other countries. He was the
Official Representative of the University of St.Petersburg at the EC
COST Actions 251, 271 and 296. He participated at many Soviet,
Russian and international conferences, in particular, as the invited
presenter and the member of the Organizing Committees and Technical
Programme Committees.
