Our Research
GLEE explores how light affects our health and well-being through innovative data collection, cross-cultural studies, and open-source tools for researchers.
Light Exposure Data
We're reimagining how light exposure data is collected, stored, processed, and analyzed. Our team develops innovative methodologies and tools to capture comprehensive data about the visual environment across different settings and cultures.
Through our LightLogR open-source R package, we're making it easier for researchers to analyze personal light exposure data, generate meaningful insights, and contribute to a growing global database of light exposure patterns.
Circadian and Ocular Health
Our research bridges key knowledge gaps around light's impact on circadian rhythms and ocular health. We investigate how different light environments affect our biological clocks, sleep patterns, and overall well-being.
By combining laboratory studies with real-world data collection, we're developing a more nuanced understanding of how light exposure throughout the day influences health outcomes across different populations and settings.
Cross-Cultural Perspectives
Understanding how light affects our health requires perspectives that go beyond the usual boundaries—culturally, geographically, and environmentally. Our collaboration with Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana is just one example of our commitment to diverse research perspectives.
Through international workshops and collaborative projects, we explore environmental, political, and social differences that researchers face, emphasizing the need for continued dialogue and information sharing across cultures.
