Dr Edward Barrett
Central House
14 Upper Woburn Place
London
WC1H 0HY
Appointment
- Lecturer (Teaching)
- Bartlett School Env, Energy & Resources
- Faculty of the Built Environment
Biography
Edward's doctoral and early postdoctoral
research focused on cleanroom-based fabrication and characterisation of
optoelectronic devices made from organic and inorganic semiconductor
materials, first at Imperial College and then at the Optoelectronic
Research Centre at Southampton. Having explored mesopic visual perception in his research, he first joined UCL in 2011 on a project investigating street lighting glare.
This was followed by a role at the Nanoscience Centre at Cambridge,
designing photomasks and fabricating test surfaces with a variety of
pillar, ridge, and fan-like microstructures, along with surfaces with
hydrophobicity patterned on the micron scale.
He returned to UCL to help with the relocation to Here East of the Bartlett Lighting Simulator, and with the upgrade of the luminaires and control system. He now works in Building Physics Monitoring at the UCL Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering.
