Jessica is an associate lighting research engineer on the Lighting Science Research team at PNNL supported by the Department of Energy Solid-State Lighting program. Prior to joining in 2019, Jessica worked as a lighting designer in New York while completing her graduate degree. Her current research interests include light and human health interactions, emerging solid-state lighting technologies and metrics, and ways to translate research findings into practice. In 2019, she received the Richard Kelly Grant for her masters thesis "Perception of Metrics: The Intersection of Color Characteristics and Quality" and was awarded "Overall Winner" and "Best Newcomer" for this work at the Professional Lighting Design Convention (PLDC). Jessica has a BArch (architecture) from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a MFA in Lighting Design from Parsons School of Design, The New School.
