About
Seeking international partners for collaborative research and implementation projects at the intersection of lighting science, neuroscience, education, health, and neurodiversity. Our initiative focuses on the overlooked potential of near-infrared (NIR) light as a non-visual environmental input with measurable effects on cognition, physiological regulation, and sensory functioning—particularly in autistic learners. Through the project, we aim at developing evidence-based, scalable lighting strategies that integrate NIR into everyday built environments to support attention, emotional regulation, comfort, and overall well-being in neurodivergent students.
