Till Roenneberg
His work spans the natural and social sciences, and the use of diverse groups of organisms. This comparative and interdisciplinary strategy has allowed Roenneberg to take novel approaches to address key questions relating to the effects of daylight on human health, well-being, and performance.
His fundamental research findings have been both highly cited and influential, and significantly, applied to multiple branches of society, spanning medicine, public policy, and architecture.
In addition to his influential work as a scientist, Roenneberg is a gifted communicator and advocate for the importance of daylight for human health. He works with diverse organisations, giving many public lectures, engages with print, radio, television, and other journalists. Roenneberg has also written two popular science books.
