Our Research Focus

Light Exposure Data

We're reimagining how light exposure data is collected, stored, processed, and analyzed to build a more comprehensive understanding of the visual environment.

Circadian Health

Our research bridges key knowledge gaps around light's impact on circadian and ocular health, exploring how different light environments affect our biological rhythms.

Cross-Cultural Perspectives

We explore environmental, political and social differences researchers face, emphasizing the need for continued dialogue and information sharing across cultures.
