The Light&Lighting Laboratory research group, Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT), boasts a solid research infrastructure, an extensive international network, connections with companies and non-profit organisations, a stable supply of talented PhD students and a supportive working environment. The research covers four themes: indoor lighting, optical design, lighting metrology and visual perception/appearance. International recognition is gained through activities within CIE (Comité Internationale de l'Eclairage) and through publications in international journals. There are partnerships with several universities, research institutes, and national measurement institutes (NIST, LNE-CNAM, PTB).
A PhD position is currently available in the field of lighting metrology.

Artifical light at night (ALAN) is rapidly increasing worldwide. More and more, questions are being raised about the potential adverse effects of ALAN on the night-time environment. In this context, the generic term "obtrusive light" has been introduced.
For this PhD research project, we are looking for an enthusiastic candidate with a Master's Degree in Engineering (Electrical, ElICT,...), Physics, Photonics, or another scientific discipline with a strong interest in optical metrology.
We offer a PhD position in Engineering Technology, for a term of at least one year, renewable up to four years (subject to positive evaluation).
For more information please contact Prof. dr. Frédéric Leloup, tel.: +32 9 331 65 35, mail: frederic.leloup@kuleuven.be.
