<div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">The PhD project is part of a European Network with altogether 11 PhD projects on cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research, see
<a href="https://dyvito.wordpress.com/projects-in-brief-and-contacts/" class="">https://dyvito.wordpress.com/projects-in-brief-and-contacts/</a> This particular project (PhD IDE, one of two in Delft) is focussed on lighting, its perceptual and optical properties,
its effects on appearance, and the development of tools for lighting design. In the last decade we developed a theoretical framework to describe and design static natural light. In this project we will do optical and perceptual studies to extend our framework
to include colour and temporal dynamics. The scientific findings will be implemented in lighting design tools that work with light field structures instead of traditional surface illuminances. The other PhD candidate in Delft (PhD EEMCS) will work on lighting
design interfaces for virtual product lighting and presentation. The PhD IDE will be working at Industrial Design, in the Perceptual Intelligence lab, under supervision of prof. Sylvia Pont and co-supervision of prof. Elmar Eiseman, and the PhD EEMCS will
work at Computer Science, in the Graphics lab, under supervision of prof. Elmar Eiseman and co-supervision of prof. Sylvia Pont. The PhD positions being part of the DyViTo network offer unique possibilities for training: regular network meetings in which generic
and highly specialized PhD training will be given by renowned academics; 3-months exchanges abroad will be included for training and collaboration with other partners; a wealth of resources for European training and collaboration.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">The faculty of Industrial Design Engineering is the largest and broadest scientific design institute in the world, with over 2,000 students, more than 6,000 alumni and 300 staff (researchers
and lecturers, including designers from industrial practice). The faculty aims to contribute to a better living environment and respond to social challenges by combining human values and desires with technological feasibility and economic viability. We are
excellently placed to do so, as we ground design methods and skills in scientific knowledge from a wide range of disciplines, leading to concrete solutions.</div>

<div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">The Perceptual Intelligence lab (π-lab) is a multidisciplinary task-force collaboration with 7 staff members, headed by prof. Pont. The lab is unique for its applied cross-disciplinary
approach to real-world perception problems and ecological optics of light and materials. Pont built a reputation in scientifically informed lighting design and has a strong network of industrial partners in the lighting community. Facilities include unique,
partly custom-built, state-of-the-art photographic and photometric equipment, goniometer, photographic studio, several custom-built lighting setups, stereoscopic imaging, mechanical and electrical workshops with full-time staff, 3D scanning and printing facilities.</div>
