From the website… The Robert Mueller-Thuns Lectureship in Computer Science was established at the University of Illinois through memorial gifts by his family, friends, and colleagues. Robert thrived and made life-long friends at Illinois and it is hoped that the Mueller-Thuns Lectureship in Computer Science will give the chance to others at Illinois to think more, learn more, and do more as an appropriate memorial to a man whose intellectual intensity, integrity, and vibrancy made him an inspiration to all who knew him.
