Fieldworker, R&D, Engineer (E), Visionary
Niels has been a proud member of our staff since day one, and may therefore consider himself one of ‘the old guard’. Niels is a fieldworker on an on-call basis only so that he can focus completely on Research & Development.
For the R&D department, Niels mainly focuses on the development and improvement of additional technology used to detect, catch, and contain psychokinetic entities and related paranormal phenomena, most of which is done in conjunction with fellow engineer Matejzcyk. Van de Keer specialises in research into and development of systems and equipment employing a rather eclectic mix of positrons, neutrons, bosons, and bosos (i.e. pseudo-mesons). His research has been regularly published in the acclaimed trade journal OMNI, in the period 2012–2016 in particular.
Additionally, Niels has conducted research into the several volumes on Dutch legends and folklore by J.R.W. Sinninghe (1904–1988), with particular emphasis on the correlation between North-Brabantian local histories, oral literature, and GBNL field research data from that area.
