- Profile
-
I am a researcher in lighting, visual perception and the built environment. I completed my PhD in road lighting and safety at the University of Sheffield (2021) and MSc in Advanced Sustainable Design at the University of Edinburgh (2016).
I joined in the University of Sheffield as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in 2021. Currently, I am working on the HAROLD project: HAzards, ROad Lighting and Driving, which focuses on investigating how hazard detection is affected by distraction and whether optimal lighting can mitigate the distraction decrement. My research interest is the influence of the built environment, particularly lighting, safety and sustainable design of the built environment.
