Profile

Dr Alvin Ming Hao LIM

Chemical Process Engineer

Dr Alvin Lim obtained his Ph.D. degree from NUS in 2022, under the supervision of Prof Zeng Hua Chun. Prior to his PhD studies, he worked as a Process Engineer for a R&D company at Biopolis, Singapore and pursued his M.Sc. in NUS. During his Ph.D. candidature, he was researching on nanomaterials and catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation under C4T IRP1 team. He then worked as a Research Fellow at NUS in 2022, before joining the AMPLE project in June 2023 as a Chemical Process Engineer.
