About
Yingying Wen is a leading researcher in horticultural lighting, specializing in the characterization and measurement of light-emitting diode (LED) systems tailored for plant growth. Her work addresses a critical gap between general illumination and the unique spectral, spatial, and intensity requirements of horticultural applications. Wen’s most cited paper, “Spatial Light Distribution Characterization and Measurement of LED Horticultural Lights” (2019, 5 citations), establishes foundational methodologies for evaluating how light is distributed across plant canopies—a key factor influencing photosynthesis and crop yield. By demonstrating that conventional measurement standards for general lighting are inadequate for horticultural contexts, she has advanced precision agriculture and controlled-environment farming. Her contributions are particularly impactful for researchers and engineers designing energy-efficient, plant-specific lighting systems. Though her citation count is still growing, Wen’s work is notable for its practical relevance, bridging optical metrology with agricultural science. She continues to shape how the industry quantifies light quality for vertical farms, greenhouses, and plant factories, making her a rising authority in this interdisciplinary field.
