Sandra Zilles

Sandra Zilles is a German and Canadian computer scientist, the Canada Research Chair in Computational Learning Theory at the University of Regina. Her research area encompasses machine learning and computational learning theory.[1][2]

Education and career

Zilles was an undergraduate in Germany, at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, where she earned a diploma in mathematics in 2000 and a Ph.D. in computer science in 2004.[3] Her dissertation, Uniform Learning of Recursive Functions, was jointly supervised by Rolf Wiehagen and Thomas Zeugmann.[4]

From 2004 to 2008 she was a senior researcher at the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence. In 2007 she began a postdoctoral research visit to the University of Alberta, and in 2009 she joined the University of Regina as an assistant professor. She was given a tier 2 Canada Research Chair in 2010, promoted to associate professor in 2013, and promoted again to full professor in 2019. In 2022 she was given a tier 1 Canada Research Chair.[3]
