Welcome to my website!
My name is Justyna Zander. I am a Doctor of Engineering Sciences in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. X: @zanderjustyna.
Here is my resume, Google AI made an entertaining yet inflated podcast about it.
For the past 22+ years I have been passionate about latest technologies, their convergence, their impact, and profoundly technical nuances of specific disciplines. My professional background is in computer science with some connotations to computational, software and electrical engineering, automotive, robotics, as well as in environmental science. I am working in AI, genAI, and autonomy space, with the use of digital twins and large-scale infrastructure, often in mission-critical systems.
In 2025, let us meet at various Silicon Valley events, Øredev conference 2025 in Malmo, Sweden; and Falling Walls Science Summit 2025 in Berlin, Germany. I am speaking about current industry and technology trends.
I already enjoyed Unicorn Summit 2025 in Lisbon, Portugal; 51. TAV 2025 in Hamburg, Germany (see the paper); and CES 2025 and MotorTrend Software-Defined Vehicle Innovator Award gala in Las Vegas, NV as I had AI nominate a true SDV & AI Pioneer and Expert, Andrej, who won.
NVIDIA GTC 2025 in Santa Clara, CA was the best week of the year so far.Since mid 2023, I have been performing lots of consulting for investors and executives about the impact of technology exponentials.
In 2023, I won the Global Leader Award by Society of Women Engineers (see the Magazine '23). See my formal work statement.
In 2023, Society of Women Engineers honored me with Patent Recognition Award for 6 patents.
In 2022, I gave a keynote on Simulation for Automated Driving and participated in a panel discussion at NAFEMS'22 in Detroit, MI, USA.
In 2022, the Polish-American journalist Marta Zucker did an interview on the tech of the future with me.
Previously, I cherished my time with NVIDIA from the first moment I joined in late 2016. While there, I was distinguished with significant measures of professional recognition:
My keynote on self-driving at MODELS 2021 in Japan was published online in October, 2021.
In 2021, Waymo asked me for a panel discussion on self-driven women.
In 2021, Peter Diamandis asked me for Imagination in Action Clubhouse discussion on moonshots technologies and their deployment.
In 2020, Sue Nelson representing Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering asked me for a Podcast about Driverless Future.
In 2019, I was named among 9 notable female engineers.
In 2018, I landed on the Business Insider’s annual list of the Most Powerful Women Engineers 2018 and engaged in simulation again.
In 2017, I won an Individual Award of the Society of Women Engineers in the category of Emerging Leaders.
My NVIDIA GTC Talks:
2021: Automating Autonomous Vehicles Verification and Validation
2021: Automated Testing at Scale to Enable Deployment of Autonomous Vehicles
2019: Methods for Creating HD Maps (1)
2019: Methods for Updating HD Maps (2)
I have been active at ASAM's OpenSCENARIO 2.0 to leverage simulation of autonomous vehicles for their validation and verification. All to demonstrate safety.
Here is an article on AI in Forbes as of April 2017 and another Forbes mention in March 2019.
And here is our report on safety of self-driving cars of 2018 at NVIDIA.
