Justyna Zander (born 1980) is a Polish-German-American computer scientist known for her work on artificial intelligence[1][2], compute and digital infrastructure, as well as modeling and simulation[3].

Education and Immigration Journey

Zander received Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Computer science|Computer Science, Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science (at GUT in Poland), and Doctorate Degree in Computer Science and Electrical engineering|Electrical Engineering from Technical University Berlin in Germany.

She worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard University. She also graduated from three-month Exponential Technologies Graduate Program[4] at Singularity University[5] at NASA Ames, and eight-month NVIDIA Executive Leadership Program at University of California, Berkeley.

Growing up in Poland during a time of historic change[6], she decided to pursue opportunities beyond her country's borders[7].

At the age of 21, she moved to Germany to work and continue her studies. After spending 7 years in Germany, she moved to the United States.

She obtained her German citizenship in 2012, and her American citizenship in 2021 based on her extraordinary ability EB-1.

Professional Service

Justyna Zander specializes in artificial intelligence, software-defined devices, digital simulation, model-based testing, and computational infrastructure.

From late 2016 to mid 2022 she made contributions to NVIDIA Autonomous Vehicles, where she worked on scaling the ecosystem of mapping solutions[8][9] across America, Europe, Japan, and China. She exerted influence in the design and application of a high-fidelity autonomous-driving simulator DRIVE Sim on NVIDIA Omniverse[10][11], crucial for the development, verification and validation[12] processes. She also engaged with DARPA Explainable AI, ASAM's OpenSCENARIO 2.0[13], and International Organization for Standardization|ISO working groups, and she directed efforts to create the NVIDIA self-driving safety reports[14][15]

She spent almost a year as the Director of Simulation for Automated Driving Assistance Systems at Ford Motor Company, where she focused on the scalability of automated driving[16], simulation, and validation initiatives to facilitate the safe and efficient deployment of modern vehicle fleets.

Throughout her career, Zander worked at Intel, MathWorks, the White House, the German automotive industry, and the Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS and FIRST. She cofounded a few startups[17] as well.

Academic and Scientific Service

Zander has authored over 60 peer-reviewed publications[18], 40 patent applications[19] (at USPTO), 3 internationally recognized scientific books[20][21][22][23], about 150 invited talks (e.g., at NVIDIA GTC [24][25]), multiple keynotes and plenary talks[26][27], panel discussions[28][29][30], conference presentations, and other engineering community contributions[31]

Awards and Media Mentions

Zander was listed on Business Insider's annual list of the Most Powerful Women Engineers[32]. She also won the SWE Emerging Leader Award[33][34] as an international recognition for her "breakthrough work in computer science and engineering".

She is currently an IEEE Senior Member, and ACM Member. File:ComputerizedDoubled.jpg|thumb|Justyna Zander at NVIDIA in 2021.

Her contributions were featured in major popular science media more than 100 times, including IEEE Spectrum[35][36], Science Magazine[37], Communications of the ACM[38], The Wall Street Journal|Wall Street Journal, Scientific Computing, Fast Company, Forbes, Huffington Post[39], NextGov[40], and Phys.org[41].

Between 2014 and 2016 she led the work on Smart Emergency Response System[42]. Her team's results were featured at the White House in National Institute of Standards and Technology|NIST Smart America Challenge[43] and Global City Challenge[44] under Todd Park (Chief Technology Officer of the United States|U.S. Chief Technology Officer). She directed leaders from nine organizations across the globe, such as, Boeing, MIT, University of Washington, North Texas University, MathWorks, National Instruments, and others.

She received multiple recognitions, grants, and scholarships from IEEE, IFIP, European Union, Fraunhofer Society|Fraunhofer Institute, BMBF, National Science Foundation|NSF, Polish and German Ministry of Science and Education, Studienstiftung|German Academic Merit Foundation, Humboldt Foundation, Hertie Foundation, National Institute of Standards and Technology, German Academic International Network, Siemens, Intel, and Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action|Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.
