Summary
Martí Quixal is a Senior Researcher and educational technologist with 13 years of experience bridging computational linguistics, NLP and computer-assisted language learning across academia and applied research. Currently a postdoc at the University of Tübingen and senior researcher at TüCeDE, he develops and evaluates adaptive tutoring systems for secondary education as part of the DigBinDiff project funded by the Robert Bosch Stiftung. His background includes leadership roles in Barcelona’s Voice and Language research group and hands-on teaching and curriculum work in the US and Germany, giving him rare fluency in both technical R&D and classroom practice. Trained as a computational linguist (PhD) and a certified secondary education teacher, he combines corpus-driven NLP, pedagogical design and evaluation expertise to make language learning technologies practical and evidence-based. An often-overlooked asset is his early career experience building NLP tools for Catalan and managing cross-disciplinary projects, which helps him quickly translate research prototypes into usable educational tools.
