One of her first initiatives also included organising the centre\u2019s computing resources to support the use of small and local AI models in humanities research. In February, she and several colleagues presented at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/events\/ai-and-the-creative-media\/\">IAMHIST<\/a> symposium, which focused on how AI intersects with media production and historical practice, and in March she led a workshop with C\u00b2DH doctoral researcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/people\/lauren-coetzee\/\">Lauren Coetzee<\/a> in Mainz, Germany, to explore the use and fine-tuning of local models. Meanwhile, she has also been co-organising the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/events\/ai-through-history-history-through-ai\/\">AI through History, History through AI<\/a> event, set to take place on 15-16 June 2026. Oberbichler will open the conference alongside C\u00b2DH Director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/people\/andreas-fickers\/\">Andreas Fickers<\/a>, assistant professor\/senior research scientist Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Clavert, and Daniel Burckhardt from the German Historical Institute (GHI) Washington.

She had planned to become a teacher, even spending a year working at a secondary school, but she decided instead to embark on doctoral studies at the University of Innsbruck and the University of Minnesota, earning a PhD from the former in 2019 in the field of migration history and digital media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through her research in these areas, Oberbichler began to develop an interest not just in qualitative approaches but also in computational methods for qualitative research. Until her Master\u2019s, she would have described herself as a \u201ctraditional historian\u201d. But she has always been interested in studying narratives and discourses using large-scale sources such as historical newspapers. \u201cStudying those sources means you deal with scale. And dealing with scale at some point means dealing with computational methods, so this was quite a logical step.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"Sarah Oberbichler\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/19144859\/ARP251106_UoL_71-EDIT-2-scaled.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/19144859\/ARP251106_UoL_71-EDIT-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/19144859\/ARP251106_UoL_71-EDIT-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/19144859\/ARP251106_UoL_71-EDIT-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/19144859\/ARP251106_UoL_71-EDIT-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/19144859\/ARP251106_UoL_71-EDIT-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 3\/2; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>            <p class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image-caption\">\n            \u00a9 Alex Rumford &#8211; School of Advanced Study &#8211; University of London        <\/p>\n    <\/figure>\n\n\n<p>It was Oberbichler\u2019s Master\u2019s supervisor who encouraged her to pursue a PhD, based on the work she had done for her dissertation, which involved computational methods like coding. For Oberbichler, it was a good fit: working with a large newspaper corpus and analysing large datasets while at the same time not wanting to lose sight of the qualitative aspects of the research forced her to consider how she could combine both \u2013 which, in turn, \u201cwas the start of my whole journey of doing computational qualitative data research\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oberbichler took the proactive step of learning Python before the AI explosion. Her return from one and a half years of maternity leave to start a postdoctoral position at the Leibniz Institute of European History in Mainz, Germany, coincided with a pivotal moment, namely the sudden rise of generative AI. Sometimes, being in the right place at the right time \u2013 and seizing the opportunity when changes happen \u2013 can really matter. Oberbichler does not see AI as replacing the work of historians; rather, it\u2019s a means of scaling up research. She has used AI to analyse thousands of documents and examine how societies have recovered from natural disasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"settling-into-luxembourg-and-the-c%c2%b2dh\"\n    >\nSettling into Luxembourg and the C\u00b2DH<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The experience of settling into Luxembourg has been positive for her, and she has found it easier to adapt than when she moved to Germany. This is partly because of Luxembourg\u2019s international and welcoming nature, and also because of the support she has received in her new role. Oberbichler already spoke several languages, but she has made efforts to learn French and understand Luxembourgish. She even had a surprising moment during a conversation with a fellow South Tyrolean in their local dialect, when a Luxembourger commented on how similar some expressions sounded to Luxembourgish.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"Sarah Oberbichler\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/19144641\/IMG_3777-2.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/19144641\/IMG_3777-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/19144641\/IMG_3777-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/19144641\/IMG_3777-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/19144641\/IMG_3777-2.jpg 1500w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 52.00% 41.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 52.00% 41.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 3\/2; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Although she joined the C\u00b2DH in January 2026, it wasn\u2019t the first time she had visited the centre, as she had previously taken part in workshops related to the \u201cImpresso \u2013 Media Monitoring of the Past\u201d interdisciplinary research project and was a visiting researcher for two months in 2025. But she says it felt like \u201ca dream come true\u201d when she began working at the centre, in part because of its unique \u201cthinkering\u201d philosophy but also because she appreciates how the C\u00b2DH\u2019s approach of combining traditional and digital methods very much aligns with hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oberbichler is interested in the development of frameworks for the responsible use of AI. Although she is concerned about the \u201cblack box\u201d nature of AI and the need for researchers to maintain control over their own critical thinking, she has enjoyed reflecting with colleagues on best practices for how to document and ensure the transparency of AI-assisted research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead, Oberbichler wants to help foster AI literacy amongst the next generation and is planning a winter semester course to teach students how to \u201cthink algorithmically\u201d and navigate technology. She is also expanding her research on environmental history, including a new focus on Africa and the study of climate shocks through historical travel accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"section section wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-discover-section\">\n    <div class=\"container xl:max-w-screen-xl\">\n        \n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"portrait-series\"\n    >\nPortrait series<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-discover quick-link-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-discover-item\">\n    <a\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/research\/faces-of-the-c2dh\/\"\n                    class=\"quick-link\"\n            target=\"\"\n    >\n            <span class=\"quick-link__container\">\n                <span class=\"quick-link__text\">\n                    Faces of the C\u00b2DH \u2013 a team beyond borders                <\/span>\n                <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-right \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-right\"><\/use><\/svg>            <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sarah Oberbichler joined the C\u00b2DH in January 2026 as Assistant Professor in Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining in Digital History.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":12963,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":{"x":0.5,"y":0.56},"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"news-category":[4],"news-topic":[17],"organisation":[224,221],"authorship":[57],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
