معرفی
Sandra Zilles is a Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in Computational Learning Theory at the University of Regina's Department of Computer Science. She holds adjunct appointments at the University of Waterloo and collaborates with the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii). Her research focuses on theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, particularly interactive learning models, formal language theory, and heuristic search algorithms.
Her research integrates computational learning theory, formal language theory, and discrete artificial intelligence structures. Key interests include:
- Machine teaching with limited data
- Learnability of pattern languages and automata
- Graph-theoretic approaches in AI
Zilles has received numerous honors including:
- NSERC Canada Research Chair (Tier 1, 2022-2029)
- Royal Society of Canada College membership
- Best Paper Awards (KI 2012, ALT 2003, COLT 2002)
She mentors over 50 students and postdocs through her research group. Current projects explore symbolic automata, collaborative learning, and geometric teaching models. Her lab maintains international collaborations with institutions in Germany, Canada, and the US.
