+The UH laboratory will concentrate on solid and particulate materials with applications on planetary
+sciences. In particular, we are measuring in ambient atmospheric conditions and in room temperatures, so
+mineral materials are mostly measured. The materials are natural but can be synthetically processed to,
+e.g., mimic space-weathering effects. We are particularly interested in measuring meteorites and similar
+materials.
+We are measuring:
+  - Directional-hemispheric reflectance spectra with integrating-sphere spectrometer, in the wavelength range from 250 nm to 3200 nm. Measurement area is from about 1 mm to 1 cm.
+  - Spectro-polarimetric BRDF in the wavelength range from 420 nm to 800 nm and possibility to record different states of linear polarization. Measurement area is from about 1 mm to 1 cm.
+  - single-particle polarimetric scattering for a few filters in visual wavelengths and different states of linear polarization measured from the complete 4 π solid angle from the particle, except for the lobes close to back- and forward scattering directions. The particle to-be-measured should have size between about 5 mm and 3 cm.
+  - spectral backscattering in wavelength range from 470 nm to 900 nm. The measurement area is about 1 cm.
+We plan to produce reflectance spectra and photometric BRDF for all the samples we measure.
+In addition, for some samples we can also produce spectral BRDF, polarimetric BRDF, single-particle
+scattering matrix (i.e., Mueller matrix or the 2×2 upper left submatrix of the Mueller matrix), and spectral
+backscattering RDF.
+In addition, we will consider providing the modeled absorption coefficient (i.e.,
+imaginary part of the refractive index) for the well-defined solid and particulate samples we measure via
+light-scattering simulation modeling of the measurements.
+The typical applications are in planetary sciences, especially in asteroid regolith studies, and in the
+general verification and development of light-scattering modeling techniques and algorithms.
