Kyungtak Lim received a B.S. degree in Physics from Hanyang University, Korea, in 2015, an M.S. degree in Plasma Physics and Fusion (PPF) from Paris-Saclay University, France, in 2018, and a Ph.D. in Nuclear Fusion from Institut Jean Lamour (IJL), University of Lorraine, France, in 2021.
Since 2021, he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Swiss Plasma Center (SPC) at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. Since 2024, he has been working as an Assistant Professor at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
Dr. Lim's main research focus is the theoretical and numerical modeling of plasma turbulence in fusion devices. He was awarded the EUROfusion Bernard Bigot Researcher Grant (ERG) in 2024 as a promising young researcher in Europe and was selected for the Early Career Collection by the editorial board of Physics of Plasmas in 2023. He also serves as a reviewer for several leading journals in nuclear fusion.
