Jean Paul Freyssinier is a senior research scientist and adjunct assistant professor at the Lighting Research Center (LRC). His expertise is in the fields of LED technology and lighting applications. He is responsible for coordinating lighting design and applications research projects conducted at the LRC, including lighting design evaluations, site demonstrations, and experimental lab work. Additionally, he helps develop curricula, materials, and teaching aids used in LRC educational programs. His professional experience includes working as principal of design at a full-service architectural lighting and automation design firm and as project manager at an energy management firm, both in Mexico. Since 2000, he has been involved in various LRC research initiatives including LED performance, technology transfer, energy-efficient lighting design, photometry, lighting technology development, and human factors evaluations. Mr. Freyssinier’s current research interests include the use of 3D-printing technologies to produce functional lighting systems, visual guidance and drone-based field photometry systems for aviation applications, human factors, and lighting education. He has taught in the LRC’s graduate education program for the past 20 years and lectures frequently at conferences and seminars on topics ranging from light source color and spectrally tunable lighting systems to the use of 3D printing for lighting applications. He is the author of more than 45 scientific and technical articles related to energy efficiency, photometry, improved LED performance, and field applications, and co-author of several patents on LED remote phosphor technology and additively-manufactured LED lighting components and systems. Presently, Mr. Freyssinier teaches the Human Factors in Lighting and the Lighting Technologies and Application courses, and support other graduate lighting courses.
