Marzieh Nazari
About
I am a lighting researcher and designer with a professional background as an architect. My career revolves around the fascinating realm of simulation and visualisation techniques in daylighting research, which currently forms the core of my doctoral pursuits. Within this niche, my research focuses on material properties and their role in uncertainty within simulations. Beyond the visual aspects of light, I'm also dedicated to understanding its impact on human health and circadian rhythm by utilising Spectral Lighting Simulation techniques.
My curiosity about the non-visual effects of light on health, combined with my initial enthusiasm for lighting design inspired by the intricate interplay between natural and artificial light, ultimately led me to the field of lighting research. In 2020, I embarked on an enriching journey as a researcher at NTNU's Light and Colour Centre. Here, I had the privilege of participating in a collaborative project with EPFL University on "The Impact of Light and Window Size on the Perceived Quality of Architecture," sponsored by VELUX, enhancing my expertise in Radiance and Virtual Reality for daylit space analysis.
I also had the privilege of being a member of the IEA International Energy Agency SCH Task 61/A research team, Subtask A: "User Perspective and Requirements." My role included studying the integration of daylight and electric lighting in Norwegian primary schools and commercial buildings through field measurements, HDR photography, and engaging with end-users via diaries and questionnaires.
I'm committed to illuminating the world through my research, believing in the transformative power of light in architecture and design, which impacts our well-being and perception. I'm excited to connect with fellow professionals and enthusiasts to explore its boundless potential.
