Daylight Fluorescent Paints:  developing an appropriate lighting condition for objects containing fluorescent paints by removing regions of light, which cause damage to occur to the pigments from fading and photobleaching.

Gems and Minerals:  exploring ways to better display the artifact by eliminating portions of light causing damage upon exposure.

Japanese Colorants: surveying the light sensitivity of colorants on Japanese woodblock prints from the 18th and 19th century  using the micro fading tester.

Micro-Fading Tester:  developing new instrumentation to identify artifacts sensitive to light exposure, based on the direct measurement of material and pigment/dye lightfastness.

Transparent Glazes:  investigating the light fading of transparent glazes resulting from photochemical reactions, which are found to be dependent on the total amount of colorant available in the glaze layer.
