Sabine Wehnert works as a researcher at the Georg Eckert Institute and coordinates the GEI Usability Lab.

She completed a BSc in international management at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg (OVGU). Due to her technical affinity she continued her studies with a master’s degree in business informatics during which time she worked as an assistant in the SAP University Competence Center (SAP UCC) where she discovered an interest in text analysis and artificial intelligence.
