Kevin Houser (PhD, PE, FIES, LC, LEED AP) is a Professor of Architectural Engineering at Oregon State University and the editor-in-chief of LEUKOS, the journal of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES). He has authored or coauthored more than 125 publications about light and lighting. He’s won the CIBSE Leon Gaster Award, IES Taylor Technical Talent Award three times, the IES Presidential Award, and is a Fellow of IES. His recent work focuses on human perceptual and biological responses to optical radiation and the application of that knowledge to the spectral design of light sources. Interests also include the effective communication, dissemination, and critical consumption of scientific research. His former PhD students now work in government laboratories, universities, and in private industry, and former undergraduate students can be found in lighting design offices throughout the United States. His university teaching includes courses on lighting design, research methods, color science, and light sources.
