George C. Brainard
Is a Professor of Neurology and a Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. Dr. Brainard is the Director of Jefferson's Light Research Program. Over the past twenty years, his academic work has been concerned with the effects of light on biological and behavioural responses of animals and humans.
Dr. Brainard has actively worked with industry and different branches of the government on lighting
education and standards.
His current work concerns the regulation of the human circadian system by the wavelength, intensity and
timing of light. Results from these studies are being applied to the development of new lighting products and architectural designs. In addition, he is currently supported by the National Space Biomedical Research Institute of NASA to develop lighting applications for the Space Shuttle, International Space Station and future exploration-class space environments.

OSRAM MASTERCLASS LECTURE
A Light Journey to the Heavens: The Architecture and Aesthetics of Light
September 13, 14.30-16.30
Gert Hof
He doesn't like to be called a “light designer”. He could be called a pyroartist or lighting architect. "I approach every light show as if it were one of Shakespeare's play", says Gert Hof. His works include the lighting of the Acropolis to the music of Mikis Theodorakis, dedication of the millennium monument in Beijing, Berlin Millennium celebrations, the 1000th Anniversary of Budapest and the Anniversary Lights at the Red Square in Moscow. Hof told Mike Oldfield who wrote the music for the Berlin show that he needed “monumental music because I will be shooting a week's worth of Berlin's electricity consumption into the sky on one of your chords”.

  Workshops  
  September 12  
  Airfield & Airport Lighting  
  This workshop will deal with airport peripheral illumination and airport terminal lighting. It will also cover the various aspects of runway, hangar and peripheral area lighting. The speakers for this workshop are Ms. Sudeshna Mukhopadhyay of Philips Electronics India, Kari Virtanen, Chief of Airfield Lighting Division of Idman, Finland, a speaker from Thorn Airfield Lighting Australia and Ms. Dorien van der Weele, Head of Lidac, Philips Eindhoven.  
  September 13  
  City Beautification - an approach to the lighting of Delhi for the 2010 Commonwealth
Games
 
  This workshop will cover different aspects of the lighting issues involved in City Beautification with special emphasis on the lighting of monuments. It will analyse the negative and positive impacts of such projects - light pollution, energy consumption, heritage protection, security, traffic, tourism, cultural activities etc.
We are very fortunate to have three outstanding speakers who initiate and led this workshop.
Ms Dorien van der Weele is the head of LiDAC International at Philips in Eindhoven, Mr. Ted Ferreira is from the City Design Group in the US and the third person leading this workshop will be the Masterclass speaker Mr. Behr Champana Gagneron.
 
 

Transportation Lighting

The second workshop (also on September 13 and running in parallel) will be on the problems encountered in transportation lighting with special reference to the issues in railway lighting. This will cover a wide range of topics, the relevance of which will extend well beyond the railways and other transportation systems - carriage lighting, outdoor lighting for marshalling yards, platform lighting, tunnel lighting etc. This workshop will be led by Mr. Axel Stockmar from LCI Germany who will cover platform lighting, exterior lighting and the implications of CIE Standard S015 on future railway lighting design. Another speaker will be Mr. Jari Tabell from Teknoware, Finland who will speak on coach lighting
and emergency lighting. The third initiator for this workshop is in the process of finalisation and will speak on tunnel lighting.

 
 
September 14
 
 

LEDs

The third workshop is on LEDs. With the rapid pace of development in the field of solid state lighting, LEDs are an obvious choice of subject for a workshop. It is becoming increasingly clear that when we speak of LEDs as "the light source of the future", that future is not really all that far off and for all of those involved in lighting it will be essential to understand this new technology.
Speakers include Mr. Luc van der Poel, Senior Application Manager-Designer for Solid State Lighting Group, Philips, Eindhoven and Dr. B. K. Chandrasekhar, Technical Director of the Materials Research Lab, JFWTC.

 
   
     
  Venue  
  The Masterclass lectures will be held at the FICCI Auditorium on Tansen Marg while the workshops will take place at the FICCI Federation House next door.
