Research Interests:

Lighting Design and technology, Entertainment technology, visual systems and perception, stage, architectural and museum lighting.

Research Summary:

My research focuses on the use and development of theatrically based lighting systems and technology for new and novel uses. Currently my research is focused on specialized museum showcase presentation techniques with a particular interest in biological visual system hierarchies as it relates to memory and information recall caused by specialty lighting techniques. I am interested in the convergence of theatrical and architectural lighting design. I have worked on the miniaturization of “art light” technologies. Some of this work has resulted in a US patent.
