Dr. Christina Lim's Personal Website @ EE

Welcome to my personal website. I am an Associate Professor working as a Principal Research Fellow at the ARC Special Research Centre for Ultra-Broadband Information Networks (CUBIN) at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EE), University of Melbourne. I am also an ARC Australian Research Fellow (2004-2008).

I am the Co-Chair, Technical Program Committee, for MWP 2008, Gold Coast, Australia. Please visit http://www.mwp2008.org/ for more information. And Co-Chair, subcategory 2. Transmission Systems and Switching Technologies, of the Optoelectronics Communications Conference 2008 (OECC2008). Further, I am a TPC member of the Microwave Photonics Subcommittee of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-optics Society (LEOS) 2008.

I won't bore you with my personal life but will say that I love origami and am always hunting those rare publications particularly those from Japan. I have had a blessed life, and even though my first job was selling candy and snacks in Singapore for 11 to 12 hours a day, there was still a lesson to be learnt. Life is precious so don't waste any moment of it.
