various settings. In particular, we establish the existence of (3/4 + 3/3836) MMS allocations for agents with additive valuations, and 3/13 MMS allocations for agents with fractionally subadditive (XOS) [...] On March 13, 2025, Hannaneh Akrami successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled “Share-Based and Envy-Based Approaches to Fair Division of Indivisible Goods”. Hannaneh Akrami joined Saarland University [...] valuations. In addition, we consider ordinal approximations of MMS and prove the existence of 1-out-of-4n/3-MMS allocations in the additive setting. The second part of the dissertation focuses on envy-based fairness

Generating detailed 3D models from photographs, that allow for new perspectives on the scene and can even be edited, this is the goal of image-based rendering (IBR), an emerging subfield of computer graphics [...] with physically based rendering techniques to make image-based 3D representations more flexible, realistic, and efficient. Unlike traditional 3D computer graphics, where digital representations, especially [...] learning then enable the real-time reconstruction of detailed 3D models from these images. The jury’s official citation states: “In his PhD thesis, Mojtaba Bemana made significant contributions towards
