About
Laura Cammarisano is a leading researcher in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), with a particular focus on optimizing light spectra for plant growth and physiology. Her work addresses the urgent global challenge of feeding a growing, urbanizing population under increasingly constrained environmental conditions. Cammarisano’s most-cited study, “The Effect of Red & Blue Rich LEDs vs Fluorescent Light on Lollo Rosso Lettuce Morphology and Physiology” (2021, 36 citations), demonstrates her core contribution: systematically comparing how different light sources—specifically red- and blue-rich LEDs versus traditional fluorescent lighting—influence crop morphology, physiology, and yield. This research provides critical, evidence-based guidance for designing energy-efficient vertical farms and indoor growing systems. By quantifying how specific light wavelengths drive plant responses, Cammarisano helps bridge the gap between fundamental photobiology and practical CEA applications. Her work is instrumental for researchers and growers seeking to maximize crop quality and resource efficiency in controlled environments. Through her rigorous experimentation, Cammarisano is shaping the future of sustainable urban agriculture, making her a key voice in the science of growing food under artificial light.
