Obituary for Thomas Augustin
January 23, 2026
It is with great sadness that we have learned of the death of Professor Thomas Augustin, from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich.
Thomas Augustin was one of the founders of our society, being already present at the very first ISIPTA in Gent in 1999 and contributing decisively to the creation of the society in 2002.
From the very beginning, Thomas intensively supported the development of the society and the spread of the ideas of imprecise probabilities.
He contributed to and participated in every edition of ISIPTA until the last ISIPTA 2025 in Bielefeld.
