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]
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]
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]
