| 2016 - present | Refereeing
I have been refereeing for various journals in pure and applied mathematics. Please send me an e-mail for more detailed information, which I do not want to disclose here. | |
| 2009-2013, 2017 - present | Teaching
I am an enthusiastic teacher: I have been teaching university students with diverse backgrounds since the end of my first year at university as a teaching assistant, tutor and mentor. I took a break from teaching during my PhD; I was lecturing three upper division undergraduate classes at UC Berkeley per year; now I am lecturing graduate classes and organizing graduate seminars at the University of Bonn.
