  • Comment: See WP:COI. Sources need to actually verify statements. For example, the source for the highly promotional statement "Her efforts have significantly advanced the understanding of how lighting affects human health and performance, making her a key figure in the field of lighting science and technology" makes no such claims.

Naomi Miller is a lighting designer and lighting scientist, recognized as an expert for her work in the field of human impacts of light and lighting quality.[1] She received a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Design from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Master's degree in lighting from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.[2] At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), she focuses on improving lighting to enhance human health, visual comfort, and safety, with a particular emphasis on mitigating the effects of flicker in LED lighting.[3] Her research has led to advancements in understanding how flicker impacts human well-being, and she has been influential in developing standards to reduce flicker in lighting systems. She is also known in the industry as "The Flicker Queen".[4]

Miller has been actively involved with the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), where she contributes to setting industry standards and educational initiatives.[5] Her leadership and expertise have earned her several prestigious awards, including two IES Presidential Awards and the IES Distinguished Service Award.[6] In 2021 she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Edison Report,[7] and 2023 she received the Waldram Gold Pin Award for Exceptional Outstanding Contributions in Applied Illuminating Engineering, the highest recognition awarded by the CIE (International Commission on Illumination).[8]

In addition to her research and industry contributions, Naomi Miller is an author and speaker.[9] She has published numerous papers and articles on lighting quality and human factors[10], and frequently presents her work at industry conferences and webinars.[1] Her efforts have advanced the understanding of how lighting affects human health and performance, making her a key figure in the field of lighting science and technology.[11]
