Hamidreza Eizadi

Lab Coordinator and Research Engineer in the Lighting Design Division, with an educational background in Sustainable Architecture and Lighting Design in Iran and Sweden, and over 13 years of experience in lighting design, research, and teaching. My work focuses on advancing innovative research and fostering a collaborative, inspiring, and enriching learning environment for students. An integral part of my role is the continuous development and upgrading of the Lighting Lab to support excellence in education and research.

In addition to research and education at KTH, I've been working as a guest lecturer at Konstfack (University of Arts, Crafts and Design) since 2022. I'm currently involved in several key projects, including:

• LENSES– Light and optical Engineering design for Education and research. We are working on a module on lenses and photometry development at KTH to enable design, simulation, and prototyping of optical systems.
• PLEXE (Platform for Lighting Effects Experimentation Environments): This project identifies, designs, implements, and validates infrastructural components to enhance living spaces and their supporting systems.
• Safety and Lighting in Metro Stations: In collaboration with SL and ABE-Urban and Regional Studies, this project aims to improve safety in metro stations through effective lighting design.
• NorDark: Focused on unconventional methods to inform sustainable design, this project mediates the needs of people and nature in Nordic after-dark environments (supported by NordForsk/Formas).
• LiSE (Learning-environment testbed for evaluating lighting benefits beyond retrofits): Supported by Energimyndigheten/Bertil och Britt Svenssons Stiftelse, this project evaluates the extended benefits of lighting in educational settings.
