Lighting Research Group

Five new PhD students have joined the group, working on projects associated with lighting for walking and cycling: Heyuan Sun, Livanur Sen, Yohanes Raniasta, Billy Iqbal and Yutong Chen.

Of our previous group of students, Aysheh Alshdaifat and Nima Moadab have now submitted the corrections to their theses, Scott Fox is finalising his corrections, and Shahab Gorjimahlabani and Maan Baleela are writing up.

LumeNet is a research methods symposium for PhD students, established by Steve Fotios and Jens Christoffersen. The 2024 LumeNet was hosted at EPFL, Lausanne, with 20 students attending. Thanks to Jan Wienold for organising this event.

The findings of research are usually published in a peer-reviewed journal such as Lighting Research & Technology. It is useful to also publish work in professional journals as this is more likely to reach the end users of research. For our work on road lighting we often publish articles in Lighting Journal, which is published by the Institution of Lighting professionals (ILP).

One of our articles received the 2024 Lighting Journal Article of the Year award:

Gorjimahlabani S, Uttley J, Fotios S. Measuring pedestrian reassurance. Lighting Journal 2023 (October): 88(9): 12-16.

This article presented a summary of Shahab Gorjimahlabani’s PhD work on pedestrian reassurance. Guy Harding, technical manager of the ILP, said of the article: ‘It goes back to our core values of good lighting research and a demonstratable outcome. The results could have an impact on how we approach lighting in the future and address the need for pedestrian lighting for the vulnerable.’
