معرفی
Anders Thorseth is a Project Manager and researcher at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), working in the Department of Electrical and Photonics Engineering within the College of Engineering. He specializes in light measurement and lighting applications, with particular expertise in LED technology and metrology. His work connects academic research with practical industrial applications through multiple international standardization efforts.
Thorseth holds a PhD in Physics from the Niels Bohr Institute (awarded 2012) with research focused on characterization and optimization of LED lighting systems, following his Master of Science in Physics from the same institution (completed 2007). His academic qualifications form the foundation for his current research leadership.
His research interests center on lighting metrology, with specific focus on photometry, radiometry, color rendering, spectrometry, and standardization of LED lighting systems. Thorseth actively contributes to global lighting standards development through the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), where he serves as National Member of CIE Division 2 and has chaired technical committees including CIE TC 2-93 and CIE TC 2-97. His work supports UN Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable energy and responsible consumption.
Thorseth's publication record shows consistent contributions to lighting metrology, with recent work focusing on photometer calibration standards, spectroradiometric measurements, and practical applications of LED lighting technology. His research bridges theoretical metrology with real-world lighting applications across multiple sectors.
