He is the founding director of the East Asian Regional Office of Astronomy for Development (2012-2016). He also served as the international coordinator for China of the Institute of Physics (UK; 2009-2018). He was awarded the 2012 Selby Award for excellence in science by the Australian Academy of Science, a 2013 Visiting Academy Professorship at Leiden University by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, a 2017 Erskine award by the University of Canterbury (Christchurch, New Zealand), and a 2017 Outstanding Undergraduate Instructor Award, nominated by the student body at Peking University.
