Following his relocation to Ireland, he completed a PhD in pelvic floor dysfunction related to childbearing.

He is also an elected member of the International Urogynaecology Association's Terminology and Standardisation Committee which has sought his expertise to work towards a unification of urogynaecological linguistic terms.
