Dr. Martine Knoop is Lecturer at the Chair of Lighting Technology, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. In this role, she is responsible for research and education on indoor lighting, daylighting and colorimetry. After studying architecture and building physics at Delft University of Technology, she finalized her PhD in 2000, dealing with glare from windows and acceptance studies in daylit rooms. Before taking up her assignment at the TU Berlin, she was a senior application specialist of Philips Lighting, the Netherlands and part-time visiting professor at Eindhoven University of Technology. Martine’s current research focuses on the unique characteristics of daylight, to find out why users prefer this light source. She uses this information to promote and improve daylight design, as well as to develop new adaptive electric lighting solutions, to enhance user well-being and performance in indoor spaces. Martine is founding member of the Daylight Academy, Chair of the Committee “Spectral Daylight Characteristics” of the CIE (International Commission on Illumination), and member of CEN WG 11 “Daylight” and DIN FNL 6 “Tageslicht”.
