  • Besides the reviewing duties related to program committee obligations I am reviewer for various journals (e.g. IEEE, TVCG, EG CGF, IEEE CG&A, ACM TOG, C&G, TVC) and conferences.
  • I review proposals for the DFG, the Austrian FWF, the Canadian NSERC, the Britisch Royal Society, and the Swedish Research Council
  • I wrote letters of reference for about numerous faculty positions in Germany (Berufungsgutachten) and for many tenure track or full professor positions worldwide.
