Uwe Kils in 1998

Uwe Kils (born July 10, 1951Template:Fn) is a German marine biologist specializing in Antarctic biology. He was born July 10 1951 in Flensburg, his mother was a ballerina, his father a master-photographer. He began as bricklayer on the Island of Sylt, Kampen with Hoeft. Next he went to school at Schwarz to become a guitar and violin builder. Next he went to professional photography at his atelier of his father FOTO KILS click on we sail any sea. He left gymnasium towards USA to study informatics and computer sciences. After his return he went back a few weeks to gymnasium to reach the 1.2 neccessary to study biolgy. He finished Biology with Herre and Tischler with an A and was accepted into the Institut for Meereskunde. He finished his diploma with an A. He had already a printed publication out before the diploma was out and he got offered a position to join a payed expedition to antarctica. On 1979 May 16 he reached his Doctor Title in Marine Biology at the age of 29 with a work on behaviour and physiology of krill in antarctica under Gotthilf Hempel with "summa cum laude" und "opus eximium". A few days after release it was translated by El Sayed by Texas A&M university and printed in English as book. Kils keep the copyright and it is without break since the first days of the WEB online.

He was fundamental together with Loki Schmidt in raising the funding for the new german polar programm and the POLARSTERN.

Titanium microengineering and optical raytracing at Joseph Menke and Dynat.

Aquaculture and pollution work in Norway and Finland with Kari Rouhunen and Timo Meakkinen.

1987 he received Habilitations and venia legendi in Marine Biology and Fisheries Biology from the University of Kiel under Gotthilf Hempel and Walter Nellen with the highest grades.

His work led to the development of various instruments for in situ observation of the underwater fauna for field research, including the ecoSCOPE and the first ever 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 the discovery of severe case of oxygen depletion Template:Inote and 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.

Lectures: Fisheries Biology, Marine Biology, Experimental Fisheries Biology, Aquaculture, Navigation and Orientation in Fish and Oceanography, Professional Photography, Informatics, Computer Sciences.


Subsequently, Kils was invited by the INSTITUTE OF MARINE AND COASTAL SCIENCES at Rutgers University via an EB1 Visa (for such 4 greencard visa you need a major internationally recognized prize in the same class as the Nobel Prize, 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.

Hisfaculty respect him: "Dr. Kils is possibly Europe’s most outstanding young marine scientist. Members of the Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences with experience in oceanography regard him as one of the world’s most innovative individuals working in this field", "Kils’ contribution to this area is acknowledged as the best anywhere".


His students love him:"The teacher was excellent, funny + entertaining as well as informative + intellectual - the computer Interaction!, " This was the best class I've taken at RUTGERS so far.","I enjoyed the enthusiasm with with Uwe gave the lectures. Once Uwe started his lectures, three hours went by in five minutes.", "This was my favourite course of my 3 years at RUTGERS.", "Dr. Kils encouraged students to become acquainted with other aspects of science - photography and computers. When he saw a weakness in the class's knowledge, he tried to fill it. He was also very pleasant personally - and a pleasure to greet every Friday morning","I don't think I could be so nice and positive on such a regular basis.

It is the dream of any scientist to have her name in NATURE or SCIENCE. His was in both.

His students were allowed to publish without his name on. All his publications are sold out.


He programmed the virtual microscope and developed an in situ microscope. He worked with glasseels and created the web server eelBASE.

He still works at high resolution images and develops online projects like Wikiversity . His favourite lecture "Biology of Antarctica" he holds in your house, live, anywhere.
