Here's a snippet of some of the work happening here in the Munsell Color Science Laboratory at RIT!

Yesterday in Principles of Color Science 🧪 Teaching about Color Rendition, basically how the spectral characteristics of light sources can affect object colors. Color is not just an object property, but it strongly depends on lighting, too! Here's the same sunflower under two different white lights:

We're still accepting applications for a TT Asst Professor of Neuroscience 🧪🧠 Submit soon; we're already reading CVs!

Today in Principles of Color Science 🧪 Lighting technologies including phosphor-converted (PC)-white LEDs. I keep this ~2010 remote-phosphor LED bulb around just to show how the blue LEDs stimulate fluorescence in the yellow plastic phosphor to produce white light. Today's LEDs integrate this #LED

RIT is hiring in the College of Science 🧪 rit.edu/careers

Today in Principles of Color Science 🧪 Teaching about color targets -- uses, important characteristics, history, variety. From the venerable ColorChecker to the Next Generation Target. Also Kodak's Tri-Shirleys! #ColorScience #MCSL

New faculty position in #Neuroscience! 🧠🧪 Hiring a new Tenure-Track assistant professor in RIT's Neuroscience program. Highly interested in visual neuro, neurobiology, computational neuro Check it out here: tinyurl.com/RITNeuroFacu... #academicsky #academicjobs #academia #science #highereducation

Today in Principles of Color Science 🧪 Teaching about color measurement geometry and the effect of gloss & sheen. 45°:0° vs 8°:de vs 8°:di Ideally a measurement is representative of viewing, in which case excluding gloss is good!

Afternoon poster session at the #cvsretreat2025

🧪 Job Alert - RIT will be posting a new Tenure-Track faculty position in Neuroscience. Looking for someone with neurobiology experience doing research with visual and/or computational neuroscience. Any amazing neuroscientists out there? Job posting coming soon... www.rit.edu/study/neuros...

A paper in Nature reports on a perovskite-based full-colour imaging sensor that can outperform existing platforms. The findings could help improve consumer electronics and aid the development of sensors for artificial intelligence and machine vision. go.nature.com/3TwseDE 🧪

We’re pleased to announce that Dr. Seth Hubbard has been named Head of RIT’s School of Physics and Astronomy, starting July 1, 2025! A faculty member since 2006, he brings a wealth of expertise and proven leadership as he looks ahead to guiding the school’s growth in the years to come. #RIT #STEM

Pi (π) never ends—just like our curiosity for discovery. This infinite number plays a finite role in shaping the world around us—from physics to technology. Happy Pi Day! #PiDay #PiDay2025 #mathematics

Happy π day! Here’s a color-coded representation of the first 10,000 digits. Read it left-to-right and top-to-bottom. 🧪 🎢 🧮

Our lab is building a camera that measures the speed of millions of blood cells/second in the eye. It uses invisible far red-shifted light. Goal: evaluate health through the clarity of the eye elifesciences.org/articles/45077 @urneuroscience.bsky.social @cvsuor.bsky.social @flaumeye.bsky.social

Just back from IS&T Electronic Imaging conference in San Francisco. Lots of interesting presentations, especially one from Michael Rudd of U Nevada Reno that is relevant to my recent work on the visual effects of borders in Augmented Reality

It's #InternationalLegoDay! What's Lego made of? Why is treading on one excruciatingly painful? Why shouldn't you put 1970s Lego in your mouth? Here's a graphic and post that attempt to answer all that: bit.ly/4aB1o4Z #ChemSky 🧪

first attempt photographing some northern lights, with a phone, using night settings and 5 second exposure

I'll share this with our #ColorScience grad students

Last week: Brian Wandell of Stanford VISTA Lab at @cvsuor.bsky.social telling us about ISETbio and related things. Great simulation suite for optics, imaging, and vision!

RIT researchers have been a partner with Landsat projects for decades, and a group is now helping the program prepare for its next iteration with Landsat Next.

We’re proud to announce Dr. Dimah Dera, Assistant Professor in the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science, has been appointed as the Frederick and Anna B. Wiedman II Endowed Chair! This prestigious endowment honors her achievements in #research, scholarship, and #teaching excellence at RIT.

Howdy, bisky!
