Xiangzhen Kong

Xiangzhen Kong is a postdoctoral researcher at Eindhoven University of Technology's College of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences, Department of Human Technology Interaction (HTI Group). He received his B.Eng. in Computer Science and Technology from Wuhan University of Technology, China, in 2012, and joined the HTI Group as a Ph.D. student on September 1st, 2015. His research focuses on modeling the temporal behavior of human color vision for lighting applications, supervised by Prof. Dr. Ingrid Heynderickx and Dr. Ingrid Vogels.

His work intersects with the UN Sustainable Development Goals through lighting innovation and human vision optimization. Research outputs include collaborations with the CIE Technical Committee TC 1-83 on time-modulated lighting systems, with expertise in:

• Phantom Array Effect visibility modeling
• Temporal contrast sensitivity functions
• Individual cone fundamentals estimation
• Correlated color temperature preferences for reading tasks

Kong has published in journals like Lighting Research and Technology, contributed to datasets on temporal frequency effects, and presented at international conferences. His research combines optics, computer science, and human factors to advance lighting system standards.
