Sheila Ann McIlraith is a Canadian computer scientist whose research topics include artificial intelligence and the Semantic Web. She is a professor of computer science at the University of Toronto.[5]

Education and career[]

McIlraith earned her PhD at the University of Toronto in 1997[6] under the supervision of Raymond Reiter.[4]

Research and career[]

McIlraith worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Xerox PARC and as a research scientist at Stanford University before returning to the University of Toronto as a faculty member in 2004.[7]

McIlraith's research is in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) knowledge representation and reasoning and automated reasoning.[7] Her research has made practical contributions to the development of emerging web standards such as DAML-S/OWL-S[8] and computer-aided diagnosis systems.[7]

McIlraith joined the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto in 2003. Previously she worked for six years as a research scientist at Stanford University,[9] and one year at Xerox PARC.[7]

McIlraith has served as associate editor of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR), on the editorial board of AI Magazine, and is a past associate editor of the journal Artificial Intelligence (AIJ). She served as program co-chair for the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) Conference in 2018, and is past program co-chair of the 13th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR2012) and the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC) in 2004.[7]

Awards and honors[]

McIlraith was elected an ACM Fellow in 2019 "for contributions to knowledge representation and its applications to automated planning and semantic web services".[2][10] She was also elected an AAAI Fellow in 2011 “for significant contributions to knowledge representation, reasoning about action, and the formal foundations of the semantic web and diagnostic problem solving”.[11]
