Kai Li Lim

Dr Kai Li Lim is the St Baker Fellow in E-Mobility at the Dow Centre for Sustainable Engineering Innovation, part of the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology at The University of Queensland (UQ). Specializing in data engineering, telematics, and autonomous vehicle systems, his research examines electric vehicle (EV) usage patterns, charging reliability, and spatiotemporal data analysis to inform policy and sustainable transport strategies.

• Education: BEng (Hons) in Electronic and Computer Engineering (University of Nottingham), MSc in Computer Science (Lancaster University), PhD in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (The University of Western Australia, funded by Australian Government Research Training Programme).

Research Interests include:

• Electric vehicle telematics and data analytics
• Computer vision and deep learning for autonomous navigation
• Policy development for sustainable transport
• Infrastructure planning for EV and hydrogen systems
• Integration of cloud computing and IoT in mobility solutions

Publication Trends reveal a focus on EV charging behaviors, data platform architectures, and autonomous driving frameworks, with recent work addressing regional emission disparities, modular safety systems, and online assessment integrity.

• Scientific Awards: St Baker Fellow in E-Mobility, Visiting Fellowship at UC Davis Electric Vehicle Research Center, Australian Government Research Training Programme (PhD funding).

Supervision and Grants: Available for supervision, Dr Lim has secured funding from Energy Consumers Australia, iMove CRC, and Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN) for projects on EV charging incentives, freight emissions modeling, and longitudinal vehicle data databases.

Labs and Collaborations: Collaborates with UC Davis Electric Vehicle Research Center, UQ School of Civil Engineering, and UQ School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Leads the UQ Teslascope Project and contributes to the Green Australian Vehicle Ownership (GreenAVO) Capability for AURIN.
