Johannes Roth

I study how the brain makes sense of what we see - and how we can use AI to understand it better. Currently finishing my PhD in Computational Cognitive Neuroscience at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig.

Before academia, I worked as a data scientist building recommendation systems and ML pipelines. I like problems that sit at the intersection of neuroscience, machine learning, and building things that work.

Open to opportunities starting September 2026
