Dr.-Ing. Sascha Grollmisch

After completing his diploma in Media Technology at Technische Universität Ilmenau in 2009, Sascha Grollmisch started his career as a software developer and was a founding member of the spin-off company Songquito, which received the Innovation Award of the German Informatics Society for its interactive music education software. Over the course of numerous industry projects, his focus shifted toward deep learning research and automated audio analysis. His PhD at TU Ilmenau concentrated on learning from few examples (few-shot learning) as well as semi-supervised methods for the classification of industrial and musical sounds. Today, he is responsible for the scientific leadership of projects in the field of acoustic intelligence at the institute.
