Sebastian Spreizer

Dr. Sebastian Spreizer is a Professor in the Department of Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Trier, part of Faculty IV (Computer Science). He holds a PhD in neurobiology from the University of Freiburg, where his doctoral research focused on neuronal network activity dynamics driven by structural conditions. His current work centers on developing the NEST Desktop platform, a web-based educational tool designed to advance computational neuroscience education. As part of the EU's Human Brain Project, he extends this tool for broader scientific accessibility.

His research interests span computational neuroscience, educational software development, and neural network simulation. Notable contributions include advancing NEST Desktop's functionality for visualizing neural network simulations and supporting interdisciplinary neuroscience education. He has published extensively in venues such as PLOS Computational Biology and G-Knoten, focusing on topics like spatiotemporal neural dynamics and educational tool design.

Dr. Spreizer collaborates with institutions like the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and is affiliated with the Human-Brain-Project consortium. His work bridges theoretical neuroscience with practical educational technologies, emphasizing open-source software and user-centered design principles in computational science tools.
