Name: Dr Navaz Davoodian
Field: Physical Sciences

Specialisms:

  • Architecture and urban spaces
  • night-time urban lighting

Research and qualifications:

  • Degree in architecture
  • PhD in urban lighting from the University of Sheffield
  • Postdoctoral Fellow at University College London

Returning to her research after a career break, Navaz’s Fellowship is entitled: “Inclusive Street Lighting in Adaptive Cities: A Study Employing functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and Eyetracking Technology”. Navaz’s research uses eye-tracking technology and a new mobile brain imaging technology called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to examine the physiological effects of nighttime urban lighting in people who experience age-related visual impairments and for individuals with neurodiversity.

We rely on our partners to fund fellowships, host and supervise fellows at their institutions and provide support to help us grow. Find out more about how to get involved below.
