Peter Sanders (born 1967)^[1] is a German computer scientist who works as a professor of computer science at theKarlsruhe Institute of Technology. His research concerns the design, analysis, and implementation ofalgorithms anddata structures,^[2] and he is particularly known for his research onsuffix sorting findingshortest paths inroad networks.^[3]

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

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