	Peter Boyce, PhD, has spent most of his career working in the field of lighting. From 1966-1990 he was a Research Officer at the Electricity Council Research Centre in England. There, he conducted research on visual fatigue, the influence of age on visual performance, visual problems associated with viewing computer screens, hue discrimination, safe lighting for emergency conditions, and security lighting. From 1990–2004 he was Head of Human Factors at the Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. There, he conducted research on visual performance, visual comfort, circadian effects, emergency lighting, perceptions of safety, and lighting for driving and directed lighting evaluations and product testing. Since 2008 he has been the Technical Editor of the journal “Lighting Research and Technology”. He is a Fellow of both the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America and the Society of Light and Lighting in the UK. He has received awards from both bodies for his work. He is the author of the classic text “Human Factors in Lighting”, as well as numerous book chapters, papers and articles.

WS4 Workshop: CIE ILLUMINANT L (LED): PROS, CONS AND CHALLENGES Convener: Peter Blattner, CH
	Peter Blattner, PhD, has a master‘s degree in physics from the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. He worked in 1992 as Young Graduate Trainee at the European Space Agency (ESA) in The Netherlands on the development of a measurement set up for diffractive optical elements. In 1998 he earned his Ph.D in the field of applied optics at University of Neuchâtel. Following a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Institute of Microtechnology he joined the Federal Office of Metrology (METAS) in 2000 where he is currently the head of the optics laboratory. In addition he served as chairman of the Technical Committee of Photometry and Radiometry of the European Association of Metrology Institutes (EURAMET TC-PR ) from 2007 to 2011. He is presently the Director of Division 2 (Measurement of Light and Radiation) at the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE). He chairs CIE TC 2-69 on the characterization and classification of photometers and the technical committee of photometry at Swiss Lighting Society SLG. He is a member of CEN TC 169 WG 7 "photometry".
WS5 Seminar: LIGHTING FOR LIFE Conveners: Jennifer Veitch, CA; John O'Hagan, GB
	Jennifer A. Veitch, PhD, is the Director of CIE Division 3, Interior Environment and Lighting Design. Dr. Veitch is a Principal ResearchOfficer at the National Research Council of Canada, where she has led research into lighting effects on health and behaviour for over20 years, through which she has become known for her research on lighting quality, individual controls, and environmental and jobsatisfaction in open-plan offices. She chaired CIE TC 6-11, which produced the first consensus statement concerning the effects ofocular radiation on physiology and behaviour (CIE 158:2004/2009).
