It is an honour to be awarded with the Society of Light and Lighting鈥檚 Presidents Medal. It is particularly exciting to be the first woman to receive this award and I am humbled by the recognition.

My commitment to bridging research into design, broadening the influence of the industry from human to humanity-centric and driving innovation to light our way towards a sustainable and regenerative future, remains as strong as ever.鈥�
