Mina Lim

Mina Lim is an Assistant Professor of Physics and Engineering in the School of Science and Health. She holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M University and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from North Carolina State University.

Research Focus: Her work applies atomic-scale simulations to study high entropy materials, particularly oxides and carbides, focusing on nanometer-scale structural properties and thermal/electronic conductivity. Key themes include many-body quantum dynamics, disorder engineering, and condensed matter physics.

Publication Trends: Recent studies investigate how chemical bonding and compositional disorder affect heat transport in high entropy carbides and oxides, using molecular dynamics and density functional theory. Collaborative work spans semiconductor materials, thermoelectric properties, and nanoscale device engineering.

Collaboration Network: She collaborates with researchers like Donald Brenner, Jon-Paul Maria, and Patrick Hopkins, as evidenced by co-authorships in journals such as Acta Materialia, Advanced Materials, and Journal of Applied Physics.
