Also professional service to a community of chemists extended to reviewing of 3 grant proposals (one for the NIH, and two for OTKA – Hungarian Academy of Sciences, EU Division of Chemistry), and one Tenure & Promotion Dossier for Dr. Quitaiba Abu-Salemi from Al al-Bayt University in Hashemite, Kingdom of Jordan.

Since 2002 to 2012 there were 63 papers reviewed, 3 proposals and 1 Tenure-&-Promotion package from foreign university.
After Full Professor promotion between 2012 and 2020 there were 91 papers reviewed.

The total number of peer-reviewed papers as of December 2019 is 154.

Instrumentation services

Instrumentation services for a variety of smaller universities and colleges in the Midwest and in the world (as of December of 2019).
