He is currently serving as the Co-Editor-in-Chief of Displays, Editor of Ergonomics, and Scientific Editor of Applied Ergonomics. In 2014, he has been elected as the Fellow of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA). This is a very presitge Fellowship and Prof. So is the first receipient from Hong Kong and there was less than 100 senior academics world-wide holding the same presitge title at the time of the election. Prof. So serves on the drafting committee of ISO International Workshop Agreement IWA3 on Image Safety and Commission Internationale de L'eclairage (CIE) Technical Committee TC1-67 and expert panel for ISO working group on dynamic image safety. In 2007, he found and chaired the First International Symposium on Visually Induced Motion Sickness, Fatigue, and Photosensitive Epileptic Seizures (VIMS2007) and are on the Program Committees of VIMS2009, 2011, 2013 held (or to be held) in the Netherlands, US, and UK, respectively. In the midst of research, Prof. So has also enjoyed teaching and was the recipient of the Teaching Excellence Appreciation Award.
