He has published numerous articles in scholarly journals and publications and conducted workshops on Web publication, graphics and design.
The Fulbright program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. More than 250,000 American and foreign university students, K-12 teachers and university faculty and professionals have participated in one of several Fulbright exchange programs.
Recipients of Fulbright awards, both U.S. and foreign, are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievements and because they have demonstrated extraordinary leadership potential in their fields.
