Project Biography 

Tim Polzehl studied Science of Communication at Berlin's Technical University. Combining linguistic knowledge with signal processing skills he focused on speech interpretation and automatic data- and metadata extraction. He gathered experience within the field of machine learning as exercised when recognizing human speech utterances and classifying emotional expression subliminal in speech, the latter of which became his M.A. thesis. 

In 2008 Tim Polzehl started his position as PhD candidate in Telekom Innovation Laboratories (T-Labs) and the Quality and Usability Lab. He worked in both industrial and academic projects with focus on speech technology, App-Development, machine learning crowd sourcing solutions.

2011-2013 Tim was leading a R&D Project for Telekom Innovation Laboratories with Applications in the field of Intelligent Customer-Care Systems and Speech-Apps [1].

2012-2014 Tim was awarded with an BMBF funded Education program for future IT and Development Leadership involving SAP, Software AG, Scheer Group, Siemens, Holtzbrinck, Bosch, Datev and Deutsche Telekom AG, amongst highly ranked academic institution (Softwarecampus [2]).       

2014 Tim was awarded the PhD for his work on automatic prediction of personality attributes from speech.

Since 2014 Tim has been working as a Postdoc at the Quality and Usability chair of TU-Berlin. At the same time Tim is driving the start-up activity applying the earlier  development of crowdsourcing solutions Crowdee [3].
