Prof. Sabine Brunswicker is an internationally recognized scholar with a particular interest in digital innovation, artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. She is a Full Professor at Purdue University, and the Founder and Director of a new interdisciplinary center of Artificial Intelligence for Digital, Autonomous and Augmented aviation. She is also the Director the Research Center for Open Digital Innovation (RCODI), focused on new organizational systems for organizing the process of innovation in an open, self-organizing way with the help of digital technologies. In 2022, she was a visiting Professor at the Northwestern Institute for Complex Systems (NICOs) to focus on AI-human teaming in complex systems. Until 2016, she was Visiting Professor for Digital Innovation at ESADE Business School. Prior to joining Purdue she was Head of Open Innovation at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering in Stuttgart, Germany.

Sabine Brunswicker is an interdisciplinary-trained digital innovation scholar with a background in systems engineering and decision sciences/learning bridging disciplines of computing, engineering/control, and behavioral sciences. In her recent work, she is particularly interested in the role of human-AI teaming, and human-autonomy collaboration. Specifically, she focuses on human-autonomy teaming between human operators flying "robots", drones, that operate increasingly automated or even autonomously. Further, she studies conversational AI and the role of emotional intelligence and empathy in conversations between humans and generative AI systems for solving complex customer needs in areas like healthcare and legal advice. 

As user-inspired researchers she and her team intensively engage with industry partners, policy makers, and individual citizens. Sabine was one of the founders of IMP³rove, a web-based platform to assess innovation capabilities. In 2016, she and her team launched Purdue IronHacks, a data science platform, that allows data scientists to solve societal challenges wit the help of machine learning and data visualization. 

Sabine holds a Master in Mechanical Engineering and Management Science (Double-Degree; University of Technology, Darmstadt, Germany), a Master of Commerce with a specialization in Marketing and Entrepreneurship (UNSW, Sydney, Australia), and a PhD in Engineering Sciences with a focus on Systems Engineering (University of Stuttgart, Germany).
