“Facing the Challenges of Spectral Engineering with a New Software Tool”
Paper published: LED professional Review (LpR), Issue #81, Sept/Oct 2020, p58-p62
Lecture published: https://youtu.be/kesqTxPgbRs
Rationale of the Jury: The effects of spectral distribution of LED and LED systems on various parameters for light quality were examined systematically. It was shown that the quality parameters correlated weakly but it was necessary to optimize the spectral distribution in order to reach target values. A software tool was developed in order to carry out this optimization.

“The Poetics of Darkness”
Paper published: LED professional Review (LpR), Issue #81, Sept/Oct 2020, p76-p81
Lecture published: https://youtu.be/FIdnvlgG6X8
Rationale of the Jury: Reflecting on cultural history, the authors came to the conclusion that light is almost always connected to positive expressions while darkness is assigned negative terms. Unfortunately, these attributes have found their way into the practice of lighting design. The authors advocate utilizing darkness creatively in the planning process and depending on the application, not only to allow for specific differences in light intensity, but to utilize them purposefully. They corroborate this thesis with practical examples.
