Uwe Kils (b. July 10, 1951) is a German marine biologist specializing in Antarctic biology. He is currently an associate professor of marine science at Rutgers University. Working under marine biologist and oceanographer Gotthilf Hempel at the Leibniz Institute for Oceanography, now the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research, in May 1979, Kils obtained his doctorate in marine biology focusing on the behaviour and physiology of krill in Antarctica graduating summa cum laude and opus eximium. His dissertation was translated and published in English as a book. In 1987 he received Habilitations and venia legendi in Marine Biology and Fisheries Biology from the University of Kiel under Gotthilf Hempel and Walter Nellen.

His work led to the development of instruments for in situ observation of underwater fauna, including the ecoSCOPE and the first software for full speed video processing. Later work at Kiel included the study of predator-prey interactions of juvenile herring and plankton, for which a floating laboratory was built called ATOLL The ATOLL was composed of three curved fiberglass elements, each 25 m long and having a draught of only 38 cm. For towing, the elements could be assembled in a long S-shape; in operation, the elements would form a horseshoe shape surrounding 150 m² water surface and was developed and deployed in the Bay of Kiel.

Work there led to Kils' involvement in an initiative to repopulate the Flensburg Fjord with herring as part of the project "Saubere Ostsee" ("Clean Baltic").

His work was honored by the HEINZ MAIER LEIBNITZ PRIZE, the HEISENBERG PRIZE and the 500 000 BIOSCIENCE PRIZE of the VOLKSWAGEN FOUNDATION. He is founder and president of the private KINDER UNIVERSITYand ELITE UNIVERSITY.

Subsequently, Kils was invited by the INSTITUTE OF MARINE AND COASTAL SCIENCES at Rutgers University, where he became a tenured associate professor in 1994 helping to set up a "Virtual Institute for Marine Sciences" at Tuckerton with online underwater cameras via fibre optic cables. He programmed the virtual microscope. He worked with glasseels at the project Longterm Ecological Observatory and created the web server eelBASE.

He still works with high resolution images and develops online projects like the lecture Biology of Antarctica at Wikiversity .

  • Slow-motion macrophotography video (50%) of juvenile Atlantic herring (38 mm) feeding on copepods—the fish approach from below and catch each copepod individually. In the middle of the image a copepod escapes successfully to the left. The image-frame is shifted to make it easyer for our eye to follow the ultrafast process.
