Reviewing:
Besides the reviewing duties related to program committee obligations I am reviewer for various journals (e.g. ACM TOG, EG CGF, IEEE CG&A, C&G, TVC) and conferences.
I review proposals for the DFG, the Austrian FWF, the Canadian NSERC, and the Britisch Royal Society.
I acted as a co-advisor for more than 49  PhD theses and 11  Habilitation theses.
I wrote letters of reference for about numerous faculty positions in Germany (Berufungsgutachten) and for many tenure track or full professor positions worldwide.
