On 10.05.2023 Prof. Dr.-Ing. Uwe Stilla passed away after a long illness.

Uwe Stilla led the professorship for photogrammetry and remote sensing until his retirement in this year's April. It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our esteemed leader, mentor and PhD supervisor.

Prof. Stilla's research area was in automatic data analysis in the field of photogrammetry and remote sensing. Prof. Stilla studied at the Gesamthochschule Paderborn, where he graduated in 1980 with a Dipl.-Ing. in Communications Engineering, and at the University of Karlsruhe, where he graduated in 1987 with a Dipl.-Ing. in Biomedical Engineering and subsequently became a research associate. From 1989 to 2003, he held a lectureship in biocybernetics in the medical informatics program at the University of Heidelberg and Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences. From 1990 he was a research associate at the Research Institute of Optronics and Pattern Recognition (FGAN-FOM) and received his PhD in automatic image processing and pattern recognition from the University of Karlsruhe in 1993. Since 2004 he was professor for photogrammetry and remote sensing at TUM, from 2005 to 2016 dean of geodetic studies and from 2008 to 2013 vice dean of the engineering faculty Bau Geo Umwelt.

We will always honor Uwe Stilla's memory.
