I have held memberships in The Association for Science Education (UK), American Association of Physics Teachers and The Malaysian Institute of Physics.

My published works include 59 articles in teacher development magazines in India and the US and a book entitled `Creative Classrooms and Child Friendly Schools' (listed in Amazon).
