Prof. Dr. Sarah Ebling
DSI Professor and Full Professor of Language, Technology and Accessibility at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Zurich.
Sarah's research bridges computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, and assistive technologies – with a clear purpose: making the digital world more accessible for people with disabilities. Her work spans hearing and visual impairments, cognitive impairments, and language disorders, with a strong focus on automatic sign language processing and multimodal communication.
Her vision points firmly toward the future:
«I want to develop more artificial intelligence contributions to the field of accessibility of persons with disabilities.»
In a world where digital participation should be a right, not a privilege, Sarah's work is a powerful reminder of what technology can – and must – achieve.
