Summary:Victor participated in numerous US federal and regional government and non-government committees and workshops in the general area of radiation and other types of chemical and biological contamination, including the National Research Council (Washington, DC USA) Board on Radiation Effects Research and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta, Georgia USA) Radiation Assessment Studies Committee. Victor also had strong expertise in space-related areas, applying his academic foundation in thermal physiology to conduct extensive sentinel research into personnel protection in space.
