Hava Siegelmann is an American computer scientist and Provost Professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.[1]

Biography[edit]

Siegelmann earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science at Rutgers University (1993) under Eduardo Sontag. Her dissertation was on the topic of Hypercomputation.[2] She earned an M.Sc. in Computer Science at Hebrew University (1992) and a B.A. in Computer Science at the Technion (1988).

Siegelmann was a program manager of several DARPA AI programs including Lifelong Learning Machines,[3] Guaranteeing AI Robustness Against Deception,[4] and Cooperative Secure Learning.[5] DARPA/DoD awarded her with the Meritorious Public Service Medal for her research and leadership.[6]
