Frank-Peter Schilling received his PhD in physics with a focus on elementary particle physics from the University of Heidelberg. He then spent many years in research, including as a senior scientist and project leader at the European research center CERN in Geneva. There, he was involved in the spectacular discovery of the Higgs particle in 2012. His intensive research activity is reflected in a long list of publications (h-index 150).

He joined ZHAW in 2018, first at the Institute for Applied Informatics InIT and since its foundation in 2021 at the Centre for Artificial Intelligence CAI. His research focus lies on artificial intelligence and machine learning, especially in the area of computer vision, including applications in medical imaging. In addition, with his group he will represent the topic of MLOps (machine learning operations), as well as coordinate all continuing education activities of the centre and represent AI in teaching. University-wide, Frank-Peter Schilling is involved in the ZHAW Digital initiative, in the ZHAW Datalab, as well as in the promotion of doctoral students.
