He has been listed as a New York Rising Star since 2014. He is an active peer reviewer for European Urology, Journal of Urology, British Journal of Urology International, and Advances in Urology. He has also published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and co-authored chapters in several urologic textbooks. He serves on national committees for the AUA.
