BioDr. Wen received his doctoral degree and had postdoctoral training from Peking University. He is currently an Associate Professor at South China University of Technology. His research primarily focuses on the non-visual effects of light on human health, with a particular emphasis on its impact on sleep, circadian rhythms, and performance. He serves as an expert for Olympic champions and elite athletes, helping to optimize their sleep quality, reduce jet lag from travel, and enhance athletic performance. Consequently, the scientific findings behind the peak performance of elite athletes could benefit the general population and advance research in healthy lighting, sleep, circadian rhythms, and lifestyle medicine.
