Ling Chen PhD Candidate, LC Intern, LEED GA
Objective & Profile: Seek a full-time position in illuminating engineering. Profession with involvements in daylighting is preferred (not necessary to be the major task). Years in daylighting / photocontrol research make Ling a unique candidate for sustainable lighting design. Energy modeling and color quality become increasingly important in lighting industry. Additional to research, Ling’s comprehensive education grants her a higher profile to understand the luminaire photometry, customize luminaire / fixture, and deliver high quality lighting projects. Her programming and statistics proficiencies are remarkable in lighting industry, which ensure reliable yet efficient parametric designs.
