Dr. Tim Schopf

Hi, I’m Tim! 👋

I work at the intersection of AI and business transformation, with a focus on building practical, scalable solutions around generative AI and intelligent analytics.

Since September 2026, I have been an AI Specialist at the Roland Berger AI Lab in Stuttgart. In this role, I help design and implement advanced AI solutions for clients and internal teams, combining technical solutions with strategic consulting to turn emerging AI capabilities into tangible business impact.

Before joining Roland Berger, I was an AI Research Scientist at the National Institute of Informatics (NII), where I worked with Prof. Akiko Aizawa on faithful natural language explanations for multimodal claim verification and AI agents for scientific discovery. Earlier, as a postdoctoral researcher at ScaDS.AI, I focused on evidence-based text generation. I completed my PhD at the Technical University of Munich, where I researched NLP and knowledge graph approaches for exploratory search in scholarly literature.

My core interests include:

• Generative AI and LLM applications in real business contexts
• AI strategy, prototyping, and deployment for scalable solutions
• Reliable and explainable AI for decision support and knowledge work
• Evidence-based, transparent AI systems

Broadly, I aim to build AI systems that are not only powerful, but also useful, trustworthy, and grounded in real-world needs.
