About Me

Hello, I am Justus Meyer zu Bexten. Since my last introduction looked more like a corporate CV, here is a more compact non-exhaustive insight. My Career After military service in Mittenwald and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in Jena, I moved to Leipzig for a Master’s in Data Science (interrupted by a semester abroad in Crete). Parallel to this, I was working continuously: As a software developer at Salesforce and in research at the Jena Computer Vision Group as well as the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. Now, I am working on my own scientific endeavours through my PhD at ScaDS.AI, in continued collaboration with the MPI-CBS. ...

Who am I?

Academic Journey Hi there! I’m Justus, currently pursuing my Master’s in Data Science at the University of Leipzig. My journey into the world of data started with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from Friedrich Schiller University Jena, where I honed my programming skills and built a strong foundation in machine learning. The potential of data science methods to uncover hidden insights and value in data truly fascinates me. My Bachelor’s thesis explored the application of transformers for imputation, further fueling my passion for this field. ...
