Michael J. Murdoch
Mike is an Associate Professor and Director of RIT's Munsell Color Science Laboratory, where he teaches colorimetry, psychophysics, lighting, and imaging. A recipient of a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award, he spent Fall 2022 in Ghent, Belgium, for collaborative research with K.U. Leuven.
His recent research focuses on color appearance and visual adaptation in augmented reality (AR), visual effects of temporally dynamic LED lighting, color and visibility in displays, and observer metamerism in lighting and displays. Mike has deep experience with color system modeling and human–centered design for solid state lighting, LCD, and OLED display systems, rooted in industrial work at Kodak Research and Philips Research.
Mike has served on the Board of Directors of the Inter-Society Color Council (ISCC) and in various roles in support of the Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T). He was the General Chair for the 2017 Color and Imaging Conference (CIC) in Lillehammer, Norway. Mike is also a founding member of Frameless Labs, a multi-disciplinary group focused on AR/VR, and serves on the program committee of the annual Frameless Symposium.
