Per Söderberg |
Per Söderberg is a Professor of Ophthalmology.
He is now working at the University Hospital in
Uppsala, Sweden in the Department of Ophthalmology,
Neuroscience and is a visiting professor at Dept.
of Biomedical Engineering, University of Miami,
Florida, USA, College of Optometry, University
of Houston, Texas, USA, and Dept. of Ophthalmology,
Dalian Medical University, Dalian, China. His
main research interests are effects of optical
radiation in the eye with an emphasis on ultraviolet
radiation, infrared radiation, cataract measurement,
and anterior segment surgery. His work includes
exploration of the pathophysiological mechanism
for UVR induced cataract, development of a new
model for determination of UVR and infrared toxicity
in the eye, determination of the influence of
variables such as age, gender, pigmentation, exposure
time and fractionation of exposure, on UVR induced
cataract and effects of chronic daily exposures
to UVR on the lens. Dr Söderberg is an ICNIRP
SCIV member since 2002. |

Karl Schulmeister |
Karl Schulmeister received his MSc in physics
in 1992 from the Vienna University of Technology
and his PhD in biophysics in 2001. Since 1994
he is head of the „Laser and Optical Radiation
Safety“ group in the Austrian Institute
of Technology in Seibersdorf, Austria. His team
has developed a probabilistic risk analysis model
for space based lasers, as well as computer and
ex-vivo models for laser induced ocular damage.
He is co-author of the book „Laser Safety“.
He also serves as lecturer for Non-ionizing Radiation
Protection at the University of Technology in
Graz. Dr. Schulmeister is head of the Austrian
delegation to IEC TC 76 (Laser), where he is also
the technical secretary of Working Group 1 on
radiation safety standards. Since 2002 he serves
as Associate Director of Division 6 “Photobiology”
of CIE, the International Commission on Illumination.
He is an ICNIRP SCIV member since July
2003. |

Bruce Stuck |
Bruce E. Stuck is the Director of the U.S. Army Medical Research
Detachment of the Walter Reed Army Institute of
Research located at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas
with programmatic responsibilities for laser and
microwave biological effects research. He has
30 years experience in laser bioeffects research
and is the author/co-author of research on the
ocular and cutaneous effects of laser radiation,
the effects of laser exposure on vision and performance,
the assessment of laser accident cases, the treatment
of laser-induced retinal injury and assessments
of laser eye protection. Mr. Stuck is a member
of the Association for Research in Vision and
Ophthalmology, the Laser Institute of America,
the Biomedical Optical Society of the SPIE and
the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI)
Z136 Committee which develops the ANSI Standard
for the Safe Use of Lasers. He is an ICNIRP SCIV member since July 1999. |

Rüdiger Greinert |
Rüdiger Greinert is a biophysicist. He is head of the Dept. of Molecular Cell Biology at the Center of Dermatology, Elbekliniken, Buxtehude, Germany. His main research interests are molecular mechanisms of UV-induced skin cancer in humans. His research group is currently investigating the cellular damage response of human skin cells (in vitro and in vivo as well as in organo-typic tissue cultures) after UV-irradiation of different quality (UVB vs UVA vs solar simulated radiation) and different exposure patterns (chronic vs. acute). Research focuses on the role of UV-damaged epidermal stem cells in photocarcinogenesis. Special interest is in the field of UV-induced epigenetic changes which might be responsible for the induction and progression of skin cancer. Dr. Greinert is member of several Boards of the German Commission on Radiological Protection (e.g. radiation risk, nonionizing radiation). He is the Secretary General of the European Society of Skin Cancer Prevention, EUROSKIN and has been, beside others, responsible for development, planning and implementation of the German Skin Cancer Screening Programme. He is an ICNIRP SCIV member since July 2009. |
