About the Speakers

1596685614-91efbe97df343d90 Henrik Clausen
Director Fagerhult Lighting Academy

As Head of Research at Fagerhult Lighting Academy, Henrik leads and strives to expand the research activities and knowledge base within the areas of lighting and human health. Qualities of various lighting conditions have been discovered to have a profound impact on human health. Henrik, is at the forefront of lighting application, embedding scientific knowledge and a deep understanding of the human health and psyche into the best possible lighting imaginable, perceivable, and measurable.

In addition to this work, Henrik holds the position of Associate Professor at Aalborg University in Copenhagen delivering a Master in Lighting Design where he is responsible for the delivery of “real life” engineering and industry knowledge to students. He also lectures first-year architecture students at Cambridge University UK on the history of artificial lighting in the built environment.

1596686832-aacecdef0d0d3071 Ian Johnson
Product Application Manager - Indoor Solutions

From an electrical industry background I have specialised my career in lighting technology, application, education and sustainability practices. I have directed, financially managed and improved company structures for over twenty years as both a manager and consultant in commercial lighting businesses with strategic focus on product sales, customer service, business development and stakeholder relationship management roles. In recent years I have managed business development opportunities with the electrical industry aligned to the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target (VEET) and the EcoSmart Electricians energy sustainability program with the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA).

I continue to be engaged by RMIT University as a sessional teacher delivering the Lighting Industry Design and Technology Course.

I contribute as Subject Matter Expert for the Department of Environment, Energy Efficiency Equipment (E3) Team for LED lamp and dimmer compatibility testing and guided the Essential Services Commission on technical lighting matters for VEET.

I have provided technical expertise for the publication of Energy Cut, a guide to energy efficiency, written by Jon Dee. My role managing the EcoSmart Electricians program at NECA and associated sustainability drivers connected me with key stockholders from both government and commercial industry.

1596779876-62e0d9f72e4e3914 Dr. Jason Forte
Senior Lecturer (The Melbourne School of Psychological Science, University of Melbourne)

I am vision scientist specialising in the neural pathways of colour vision and the role of colour vision in human behaviour. I have been a research fellow in the Center for Neural Science at New York University, and the Department of Psychology and the Department of Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Sydney. I moved to Melbourne as a research fellow in the National Vision Research Institute and Department of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of Melbourne. I am currently employed in The Melbourne School of Psychological Science at the University of Melbourne, where I lecture in Behavioural Neuroscience.

My research includes both human and non-human studies on the transformation of light by neurones in the brain and how colour information in the brain shapes our perception of the world around us. I use electrophysiological methods including EEG to study brain responses to visual stimulation, and behavioural techniques with precisely calibrated displays to model perceptual processing.

Recently, my research has taken on an applied focus, using wearable technology to understand why some people are particularly sluggish after being woken from deep sleep. This research is aimed at understanding the impact of the environment and fatigue on human performance.

Associate Professor (School of Psychological Sciences, University of Melbourne)

Olivia is an Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences.

She completed a PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Queensland Vision Touch and Hearing Research Centre, followed by a post-doctoral research fellowship in the Vision Science Lab at Harvard University.

She currently heads the Perception and Pharmacology lab where her research interests focus on understanding the factors determine the contents of an individual’s conscious experience and the impact of altered perceptual function in psychiatric populations. She has previously served as the Executive Director of the International Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness and the president to the Australasian Cognitive Neuroscience Society.
