Christina Lim is an Australian expert on optical wireless communications, radio over fiber, and hybrid "fiber-wireless" networks combining fiber connections to base stations with wireless connections to individual devices.[1] Beyond optical communications, she has also developed transparent displays for augmented reality.[2] She is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Melbourne, where she directs the Photonics and Electronics Research Laboratory.[3]

Education and career

edit

Lim studied electrical and electronic engineering at the University of Melbourne, obtaining a bachelor's degree in 1995 and completing her Ph.D. in 2000. She has been part of the Photonics Research Laboratory since 1999.[4]

She was named as an Australian Research Council (ARC) Australian Research Fellow for 2004–2008, and as an ARC Future Fellow for 2010–2013.[3]

Recognition

edit

Lim was named as an Optica Fellow, in the 2019 class of fellows, "for outstanding and sustained pioneering contributions to the research, development, and applications of fiber-wireless technology in the field of microwave photonics".[5] She was elected as an IEEE Fellow in 2023, "for contributions in hybrid fiber-wireless communications technology".[6]
