Within the period 1998–2000 he was the Chairman of Steering Committee of Materials Forum in Wales, member of several scientific societies (e.g. IEE and IEEE), member of Steering Group and Editorial Boards of several scientific conferences (e.g. Soft Magnetic Materials Conference and International Workshop on 1 & 2 Dimensional Magnetic Measurement and Testing). His teaching experience comprises the coordination of two Tempus Projects. He also directed teaching schemes of postgraduate studies and PhD studies in electrical engineering and magnetic materials technology at Cardiff University, supervised over 50 PhD students and of 60 higher degree projects, organised short courses and open days at the Wolfson Centre.
Moses published over 200 research papers in professional international journals on magnetics technology. He presented numerous invited papers and lectures at conferences in the UK and many countries worldwide, including: USA, Japan, Korea, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Germany, Russia, Poland, Sweden, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary.

Famous quotes containing the words director and/or centre:
“The director is simply the audience. So the terrible burden of the director is to take the place of that yawning vacuum, to be the audience and to select from what happens during the day which movement shall be a disaster and which a gala night. His job is to preside over accidents.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
“Freedom to think our own thoughts, freedom to utter them, freedom to live out the promptings of our inner life ultimated in this convention, was termed a monstrosity of the 19th century. What was it?—the legitimate out-birth of the eternal law of progress. This reformation underlies every other; it is the only healthful centre around which hope of humanity can revolve.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
