Administrative duties. I am the coordinator of the committee of undergraduate studies of our department. I have served as the coordinator of the Erasmus program committee of our department. Between January 2012 and January 2013 I was the organizer of the department seminar. Other Academic Activities I was an external referee for the Master thesis of Christoforos Neofytidis that he wrote under the supervision of Prof. Matthias Kreck at the University of Bonn in June 2009. I was an external referee for the Ph.D. thesis of Wenfei Liu at the University of Bayreyth, Germany, February 2010. I am a reviewer for Zentralblatt Math. I have refereed for the Duke Mathematical Journal, Mathematische Annalen, Annali di Scuola Normale Superiore, Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, Mathematische Zeitschrift, Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra and International Journal of Mathematics, Publications of the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences (PRIMS), Kyoto University. I am a member of the American Mathematical Society.
