Bernd Jähne

Bernd Jähne (born January 8, 1953 in Pirmasens ) is a German physicist , computer scientist and university professor.

Life

Jähne studied physics at the University of Saarland and the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg and graduated with a diploma in 1977. He then received his doctorate in physics at the Institute for Environmental Physics under Karl-Otto Münnich at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg in 1980 with the dissertation on the parameterization of gas exchange with the help of laboratory experiments . Jähne completed his habilitation there in 1985 in physics and in 1992 in computer science at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg .

Jähne held a research professorship at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego from 1988 to 2003 and was visiting professor at the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing (IWR) at Heidelberg University on several occasions from 1990 to 1994 . In June 1994 he became professor at the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Heidelberg and has since headed the Digital Image Processing Working Group at the IWR and the Gas Exchange and Waves Working Group at the Institute for Environmental Physics with the Heidelberg Aeolotron , a large, ring-shaped wind / wave channel .

In 2008, Jähne founded the Heidelberg Collaboratory for Image Processing (HCI), an Industry-on-Campus project of the University of Heidelberg, as part of the Excellence Initiative, and was its coordinating director until 2017. From 2008 to 2016 he was a member of the executive board of the IWR. Jähne has been a director of the European Machine Vision Association (EMVA) since 2015.

Jähne made particular contributions to the development of teaching in the field of image processing . His work Digital Image Processing has since been reprinted and expanded several times. In 1995 he founded the Heidelberg Image Processing Forum, an initiative for further training and the exchange of information between research and industry with three one-day events per year and the European Machine Vision Forum in 2016. He has been a senior professor at Heidelberg University since October 2018.
