Biography

Currently fellows for ASME, ASCE, HKIE and ISEAM, Ir Professor Lim received a first degree from University of Technology of Malaysia, M.Eng. and PhD from National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological Univ., respectively. Prior to joining CityU, he was a post-doctoral research fellow at The University of Queensland and The University of Hong Kong. Professor Lim is also a visiting professor at various universities including the University of Western Sydney, Dalian University of Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, etc. He has expertise in vibration of plate and shell structures, dynamics of smart piezoelectric structures, nanomechanics and symplectic elasticity. He is one of the Editors for Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures, Associate Editor (Asia-Pacific Region) for Journal of Vibration Engineering & Technologies, Associate Editor for International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, subject editor for Applied Mathematical Modeling, etc. and also on the editorial board of a few other international journals. He has published one very well-selling title in Engineering Mechanics entitled “Symplectic Elasticity”, co-authored with W.A. Yao and W.X. Zhong, as recorded in April 2010 by the publisher, World Scientific. He has published more than 230 international journal papers, accumulated more than 3200 independent citations, and one of the papers was granted the IJSS 2004-2008 most cited article award. He was also awarded Top Referees in 2009, Proceedings A, The Royal Society. Professor Lim is also a registered professional engineer (RPE) in Hong Kong.
