Kai Li Lim

Kai Li Lim serves as an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering within the School of Engineering at The University of Western Australia, with prior affiliation as St Baker Fellow in E-Mobility at the University of Queensland (2021-2023).

Education:

• BEng (Hons) from University of Nottingham
• MSc from Lancaster University
• PhD from University of Western Australia

Research Focus: Dr. Lim pioneers work in autonomous vehicle systems, specializing in path planning algorithms and safety-critical modular design. Their research integrates computer vision and RFID technologies with sustainable energy applications, particularly electric vehicle infrastructure and hydrogen-based net zero transitions. Key contributions address real-world EV adoption challenges in Australian contexts.

Publication Trends: Recent work (2021-2024) demonstrates consistent focus on intelligent transportation systems, with increasing emphasis on sustainability metrics. Studies analyze charging infrastructure utilization patterns, hydrogen economy feasibility, and safety frameworks for autonomous shuttles, reflecting convergence of transportation engineering and climate action research.

Awards:

• St Baker Fellow in E-Mobility (University of Queensland, 2021-2023)

Research Funding: Principal investigator roles in two major projects: REView: Unified Telematics Platform for Connected EVs (Oracle Australia, 2020-2023) developing integrated vehicle-infrastructure systems, and Synergy EV Charging (2017-2019) analyzing public charging networks in Western Australia. These grants demonstrate strong industry partnerships addressing practical e-mobility challenges.
