Peter Sanders (computer scientist)

Peter Sanders (born 1967)[1] is a German computer scientist who works as a professor of computer science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. His research concerns the design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms and data structures,[2] and he is particularly known for his research on finding shortest paths in road networks.[3]

Sanders earned his Ph.D. from Karlsruhe in 1996, and worked for seven years at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken (completing his habilitation there in 2000) before returning to Karlsruhe as a professor in 2004.[4]

Sanders was one of the winners of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize in 2012.[3][5]
