DESCRIPTION:Prof. Marilyne Andersen\, Laboratory of Integrated Performance
  in Design\, EPFL School of Architecture\, Civil and Environmental Enginee
 ring (ENAC)\, Institute of Architecture (IA)\nAbstract:\nNatural light gre
 atly impacts how a building is experienced by its occupants. It affects th
 eir well-being\, notably from their health and biological clock perspectiv
 es\, but also their perceived visual and thermal comfort\, or their emotio
 nal response. If we want to support the design of places of delightful –
  and daylightful – living\, we must bring these multifaceted considerati
 ons to become integral drivers of the creative process.\n\nThis lecture wi
 ll explore current research efforts aiming towards a deeper integration of
  daylighting performance and indoor comfort in design\, by reaching out to
  various fields of science\, from chronobiology and neuroscience to psycho
 physics and computer graphics.\n\nBio:\nMarilyne Andersen is Full Professo
 r at EPFL where she heads the Laboratory of Integrated Performance in Desi
 gn (LIPID). Her research activities focus on the integration of building p
 erformance in design with an emphasis on daylighting around the themes of 
 health\, perception\, comfort and energy. She is co-founder of the start-u
 p OCULIGHT dynamics and Academic Director of the Smart Living Lab. She was
  Dean of the School of Architecture\, Civil and Environmental Engineering 
 (ENAC) at EPFL from 2013 to 2018 and sits on the Board of the LafargeHolci
 m Foundation for Sustainable Construction.\nShe holds a MSc in Physics and
  a PhD in Building Physics\, and was tenure-track Professor at MIT before 
 joining EPFL\, where she founded the MIT Daylighting Lab in 2004. She has 
 also been a Visiting Scholar at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and a V
 isiting Professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. Au
 thor of over 150 refereed scientific papers with several distinctions\, sh
 e was the first laureate of the Daylight Research Award in 2016 and led th
 e winning Swiss team for the US Solar Decathlon 2017 competition.
