Jiang Miaoyi has over 20 years of experience in large-scale architectural decoration design and has received numerous prestigious domestic and international awards, including major contributions to art and design and “China Design Annual Figure.” He is known for a pragmatic, data-driven design philosophy. He emphasizes that precise communication is the most effective way to build trust, and that data serves as a critical tool to support such precision. While design may begin as a sensorial and intuitive process, he believes it must ultimately be realized in practice—integrated into society and everyday life—requiring rational deconstruction to achieve effective outcomes. He also stresses that designers must remain forward-looking and prepared for future shifts and uncertainties.

Lin Yandan

Professor at the School of Intelligent Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing Innovation, Fudan University; Principal Investigator at the Key Laboratory of Modern Anthropology (Ministry of Education); dual-appointed Professor in Anthropology and Genetics; doctoral supervisor; Deputy Director of the Light Biobiology and Photochemistry Division of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE); Director of the Shanghai Intelligent Systems Human Factors Engineering Professional Technical Service Platform; and Chair of the Human Factors Engineering and Industrial Innovation Committee of the China Society for Creative Studies.

Her research focuses on multi-dimensional environments—particularly light environments—and the causal and predictive integrated modeling of human multimodal phenotypes, as well as intelligent applications. Targeting key sectors such as national defense, transportation, healthcare, and smart lighting, she integrates heterogeneous cross-scenario data to construct a light environment–multimodal phenotype database, including data cleaning, standardization, and metadata management.

Using statistical modeling, machine learning, and time-series analysis, she quantifies the effects of spectral composition, illuminance, color temperature, and exposure timing on cognition, emotion, sleep architecture, and circadian phase. This work has led to the development of models for light-intervention circadian phase quantification, effective light stimulation thresholds for negative emotions, and models linking display parameters to cognitive performance.

She has revealed the relationship between sleep quality and circadian rhythms under shift-work conditions, as well as the mediating role of fatigue on cognition under light interventions. She has also developed physiological fatigue prediction based on pupil responses and eye tracking, as well as EEG-based alertness prediction, enabling cross-modal biomarker extraction and precise state recognition. These results provide usable models and threshold libraries for perception and state identification in healthy lighting environments.

She has led multiple major national projects, including China’s Large Aircraft Major Special Project, the National “863” Program, the “973” Program, National Key R&D Program projects, and key defense-related initiatives. She also led the formulation of the national standard “Dose of Non-Visual Biological Effects of Light on the Human Eye.”

She has published more than 190 academic papers, holds over 40 authorized patents, and has participated in the development of more than 10 standards. Her honors include the Second Prize of the Shanghai Science and Technology Progress Award (2013, 2017), First Prize of the China Creative Achievement Award (2024), Shanghai Women’s Innovation Rising Star Award, Shanghai March 8th Red Banner Holder, and Outstanding Contribution Award from the International Semiconductor Industry Association. In October 2023, she received the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) Outstanding Women in Engineering Award (one recipient globally per year).

Wei-Jye Lin

Dr. Wei-Jye Lin is an Associate Research Fellow and Principal Investigator at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University. His research focuses on how disruption of brain homeostasis contributes to neurodegenerative and affective disorders, with particular emphasis on brain clearance systems, neurovascular dysfunction, glial metabolism, and neural circuit regulation. In recent years, his work has defined key mechanisms underlying early glymphatic dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease and further demonstrated that non-pharmacological interventions, including visual-circuit activation, 40 Hz light stimulation, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, can improve brain clearance, cognitive function, and related behavioral phenotypes. His representative studies have been published in Nature Neuroscience, Nature Communications, and Acta Neuropathologica Communications. Dr. Lin is particularly interested in translating mechanistic neuroscience into measurable and actionable strategies for brain health, especially at the intersection of light environment, neural activity, and human wellbeing.
