Prof. Dr Manuel Spitschan
Manuel Spitschan is an Assistant Professor of Chronobiology & Health at the TUM School of Medicine and Health at the Technical University of Munich and a Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics. His research explores how light affects human circadian rhythms, sleep, and visual physiology, with a focus on the spectral, spatial, and temporal properties of light and their implications for health and well-being. He studied psychology at the University of St Andrews (2009–2012) before earning his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania (2012–2016), where he investigated melanopsin sensitivity in the human visual system. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University (2016–2017), he was awarded a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellowship, enabling collaborative research at the University of Oxford and the Centre for Chronobiology in Basel (2017–2021).
He is the Speaker of the Steering Committee of the Daylight Academy, Chair of the Joint Technical Committee 20 of the CIE, and Board Member of the Society for Light, Rhythms, and Circadian Health (SLRCH, formerly SLTBR). Committed to open science, science communication, and interdisciplinary collaboration, he actively works to bridge the gap between research and real-world applications at the intersection of light and the circadian clock.
