3/6/22 – Lighting Episode 302 (Full Version) – Dr. Mike Krames & Dr. Anne Berends 38:57

Light is a spectrum and our eyes see a thin slice of it. But that doesn’t mean the light outside of our visual perception doesn’t affect us. Dr. Krames and Dr. Berends talk with Michael and Greg about the research they have conducted and the conclusion they have reached on the effects of near-infrared light on human health. To put it bluntly, it’s good stuff, when used in the right dosages. You’re probably going to “see” this technology added to computer screens, webcams, cell phones, TV’s… You’ll be working at your laptop and you’re going to feel healthier and happier!

Dr. Mike Krames has more than 25 years of materials, device, and applications experience, with emphasis on solid-state lighting devices and products, including advancing the performance and color quality of LEDs for general illumination. He is currently president of Arkesso, LLC, a consulting firm in Silicon Valley, and Sr Advisor to Seaborough Research BV in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Dr. Anne Berends has a background in chemistry and a PhD in nanomaterials science. She likes to work in a dynamic and multidisciplinary team and that is exactly what she found in the Life Science program at Seaborough. Translating fundamental scientific insights to products that improve human wellbeing and health, require skills and insights from so many viewing angles that true teamwork is a must.
