Niek Andresen is a former doctoral researcher at SCIoI. Niek received his B.Sc in Computing in Science in 2015 from the University of Hamburg, and completed his M.Sc in Computer Science at TU Berlin in 2019. As a doctoral student at SCIoI, he researched intelligent behavior in mice. His project entailed observing mouse behavior during “Lock Box” exercises, in which the animals tried to open doors with lock mechanisms. Among other things, Niek worked on the 3D-design and printing of the Lock Boxes, managed camera setups, and performed video analysis through deep learning and behavior modeling.
