It is with sorrow that we relay the news of the death of Uwe Grimm, Professor of Mathematics at The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK. Professor Grimm was a much-valued Co-editor of Acta Crystallographica Section A and Consultant to the IUCr Commission on Aperiodic Crystals, which he chaired from 2014 to 2017.
Uwe Grimm completed a doctorate degree in Physics at the University of Bonn, Germany, and spent eight years as a postdoctoral researcher in Melbourne, Amsterdam and Chemnitz before joining The Open University in late 2000. His main research interest was the theory of aperiodic order – read his Acta Crystallographica Section B Feature Article "Aperiodic crystals and beyond" here – but he was also involved in the application of mathematics, in particular in physics and biology, and in public engagement.
A full obituary will be published in due course.
