Russell Greiner is a professor of computing science at the University of Alberta. He is a fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence and a specialist in machine learning and bioinformatics. Greiner is one of the principal investigators at the Alberta Innovates Centre for Machine Learning[1] and has published over 200 refereed papers and patents.

After earning a PhD from Stanford University, Greiner worked in both academic and industrial research before settling at the University of Alberta, where he became a professor in Computing Science (adjunct in Psychiatry) and the founding scientific director of the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute.

He was elected a Fellow of the AAAI (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence), was awarded a McCalla Professorship,[2] and received a Killam Annual Professorship.[3]

He received the Killam Award for Excellence in Mentoring.[4]

He has published numerous papers, most in the areas of machine learning and medical informatics. His work centers on medical informatics, survival prediction,[5][6][7] and the formal foundations of learnability.
