Manuel Spitschan's research focuses on the effects of light on human physiology and behavior, particularly biological clocks and circadian rhythms related to sleep. His work combines chronobiological assessments with cutting-edge methods for measuring, characterizing, and generating light stimuli in laboratory and field settings. Spitschan studied psychology at the University of St Andrews and earned his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania. He conducted postdoctoral research at Stanford University and served as a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellow, becoming a University Research Lecturer from 2020 to 2021. In January 2022, he was appointed to the Rudolf Mößbauer Tenure Track Assistant Professorship in Chronobiology and Health at the Technical University of Munich, where he also leads a Max Planck Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics.
