A workshop for PhD research students
|
| LumeNet 2012 will bring together PhD students of lighting and related subjects and an invited panel of leading researchers, to find out what they are doing and to share ideas. Conferences usually want to hear about your important findings: LumeNet is a forum for discussing how you arrive at these conclusions, such as the experimental procedure you intend to use, how this might be improved and to identify important issues worthy of study. You will therefore be invited to present your research in order to gain critical feedback - the schedule allows much longer time for discussion following each presentation than do typical conferences. The research panel for LumeNet 2012 includes Peter Boyce, Jens Christoffersen, Kevin Houser, John Mardeljevic, Mike Pointer, Jennifer Veitch and Stephan Völker. Who should attend? PhD students studying lighting and related subjects including visual perception, environmental psychology, daylighting, colour and vision. The nature of the feedback will probably benefit best those in the first and second years of their research programme. We are currently checking that this event is eligible for ECTS point. Please apply early as we may need to limit this event to ensure there is sufficient time to discuss each project in depth. What will you be doing?

Peter Boyce is known for having a broad and thorough understanding of lighting and for coming up with interesting ways to tackle research problems. Human Factors in Lighting is acknowledged as a classic text: if you are a researcher of lighting and its impact on people, this should be permanently on your desk. His new book, Lighting for Drivers, is, astonishingly, the first to integrate road lighting and vehicle lighting. A read of the contents lists in these books demonstrates the wide scope of his interests.
Jens Christoffersen, Ph.D.
Senior Research VELUX A/S, Daylight, Energy & Indoor Climate (DEIC) I have for many years specialized myself in the field of daylight and indoor climate in buildings and I’ve been involved in national, international and European research programmes on Light and Daylight. Currently, I’m appointed as an Official Division Member of CIE Division 6: Photobiology and Photochemistry, and Committee member of four European standards committees: CEN/TC 169/WG 2 (Lighting of work places), CEN/TC 169/WG9 (Energy performance of buildings),CEN/TC 169/WG 11 (Daylight), CEN/TC 169/WG 13 (Non-visual effects of light on human beings). Previously, I’ve been the main supervisor of 1 PhD student and appointed as external sensor of 6 Ph.D. theses. Currently, I’m co-supervising 2 PhD students. Dr Michael R. Pointer received his PhD from Imperial College, London working with David Wright. He then worked in the Research Division of Kodak Limited on fundamental issues of colour science applied to the photographic system. After periods at the University of Westminster, working on the application of digital cameras to measure colour in the food industry, and the National Physical Laboratory, where initially he managed the team responsible for colour measurement research, and then moved on to lead a project on the measurement of appearance, he is now a Visiting Professor at both the University of Leeds and the University of the Arts, London, as well as working as a consultant scientist. In 1997, he received the Fenton Medal, The Royal Photographic Society’s award for services to the Society. In 2004, he received a Silver Medal from the Society of Dyers and Colourists for ‘contributions to colour science.’ He is also an Honorary Member of the Colour Group of Great Britain. He has authored over 100 scientific papers, is a Fellow of The Royal Photographic Society and the Institute of Physics, Secretary of CIE Division 1 Vision & Colour and UK Associate Editor of the journal Color Research & Application.
