Prof. L.P.J.J. Noldus (Lucas)

My chair “Behavior, information technology and innovation” consists of three pillars: research, teaching and innovation. My research is aimed at the discovery and development of new techniques for automatic behavioral recording in animals and humans. The topics are quite diverse and include generic AI models for behavior recognition in rodents and human infants, vocalizations in mice, EEG and behavior in mice, learning tasks in zebrafish, eye tracking in MS patients, and motion analysis in visually impaired people. As a teacher, I lecture in bachelor and master courses, including Methods in Neuroscience, Animal Ecology and Science, Management and Innovation. Last but not least, I try to build bridges between the Radboud University and companies in the field of behavior (of animals and humans) and technology, by stimulating entrepreneurship, coaching of startups and valorization of inventions within the Faculty of Science, in cooperation with Radboud Innovation and Radboud AI.
