Professional Summary

I am fascinated by how light, which we often take for granted, affects our psychophysiology. My research interests lie in the areas of:

  • Light and Human Health, Wellness, Cognition, Performance, and Perception. 
  • High Dynamic Range Imaging and Lighting Metrology
  • Alternative Low-resolution Occupancy Sensing approaches
  • 'Occupant-first' design techniques
