Dr LIM, Haoxiang Desmond, Senior Research Scientist, email: d.h.lim@nus.edu.sg
Background
Dr. Desmond Lim graduated from the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, with his BEng in Aerospace Engineering in 2015 and Ph.D in Aerospace Engineering in 2020. After graduation, he worked at Temasek Laboratories for a brief stint, before joining the University of Southampton, UK, as a postdoctoral researcher in 2020, and as a RAEng UK IC Postdoctoral Research Fellow in 2021. He joined the University of Bristol, UK, as an assistant professor in 2023. He returned to Singapore and joined Temasek Laboratories in 2025.
