Sabine Sané studied Biology with a main focus on ecology/evolution, botany, and animal behavior at the University of Freiburg. She did her diploma (master) thesis on “Group coordination in chacma baboons” in South Africa in cooperation with the German Primate Centre (GPC) in Göttingen. After her biological studies, she worked in the field of animal behavior at the GPC with a stay abroad in Senegal and then at the Max-Planck-Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg. Her subsequent PhD studies at the department of Microsystems Engineering at the University Freiburg investigated biotechnological approaches to regenerative energy systems. Her research concentrated on bio-electrochemical, enzymatic systems to produce electricity and to degrade micropollutants in waste water.
Dr. Sané is responsible for the Major Environmental and Sustainability Sciences (formerly: Earth and Environmental Sciences).
