Current Research
Lim uses evolutionary genomics methods to study how geography, ecology and history interact to create, maintain, and distribute biological diversity at different spatio-temporal scales. I aim to use integrative approaches that transcends disciplinary boundaries because biological processes themselves are not compartmentalized.
Currently works with:
- Department of Biology
- Smithsonian Institution
- Micro-Biome Analysis Center
Teaching Focus
Lim teaches classes in biostatistics, bioinformatics and population genetics.
