The Inter-Society Color Council (ISCC) honored Dr. Louis D. Silverstein with the presentation of the Macbeth Award during its 2004 Annual Meeting. Dr. Silverstein, founder and Chief Scientist of VCD Sciences, Inc. in Scottsdale, Arizona, was recognized for his contributions to color rendering through liquid-crystal technology in electronic displays and image capture devices. VCD Sciences, Inc. is a scientific research and consulting firm with project specialization in the areas of applied vision, color science, and display technology. |
Silverstein received his B.S., his M.S. and his Ph.D. in psychophysics and vision science from the University of Florida. After earning his Ph.D., he spent two years doing advanced research in sensory neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin as an NIH postdoctoral fellow. Prior to founding VCD Sciences, Inc., he was a Senior Research Fellow at Honeywell's Systems and Research Center and a Research Scientist at the Boeing Company. Dr. Silverstein was awarded the Alexander C. Williams Award of the Human Factors Society in 1983 for his work on the advanced cockpit color CRT display systems for the Boeing 757/767 aircraft and the Honeywell Corporate Technical Achievement Award in 1989 for the development of visual simulation methods for color liquid crystal displays.
Dr. Silverstein is the author of over 120 journal articles, book chapters, technical papers, and technical reports. Among his thirty patents are several recent innovations in liquid crystal displays and liquid-crystal-based image-capture devices. He is a Fellow of the Society for Information Display (SID). He has been a past program and general chair of the SID international conference, has served as an Associate Editor of the Journal of the Society for Information Display and on the editorial board of the journal Human Factors, and currently serves on the editorial boards of the journals Color Research and Application and Displays. He currently serves on the U.S. National Committee of the C.I.E. (USNC/CIE) and had served on the U. S. National Academy of Sciences Committee on Vision. In addition to being a Fellow of the SID, he is a member of the Human Factors Society, the Optical Society of America (OSA) and the Society of Imaging Science and Technology (IS&T).
