He has authored more than 180 international articles, book chapters, publications, and edited the book “CyberKnife Neuroradiosurgery” (Ed. Springer Nature). He served as reviewer for more than 30 journals, including the most important in the field of neuroscience and is a member of the editorial board of five of them.

He has lectured on more than 70 occasions at conferences and has been an invited speaker at several scientific institutions and international groups such as the British, German, Polish, Italian Societies of Neurosurgery, the World and European Federations of Neurosurgeons and multiple other world-renown organizations.
