Reference excerpt

Mi Hee Lim (임미희, 1975~) is a KAIST Endowed Chair Professor in the Department of Chemistry in KAIST, South Korea and the Director of the Lim Lab at the Center for MNPC.

Education Mi Hee Lim received her bachelor's degree in Chemistry at Ewha Womans University in 1999, her master's in Molecular Life Science at Ewha Womans University in 2001, and completed her Ph.D. in Chemistry in Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2006.

Career After receiving her doctorate degree in 2006, Mi Hee Lim became a postdoctoral scholar at California Institute of Technology until 2008, and served as a Research Assistant Professor in the Life Sciences Institute at the University of Michigan from 2008 to 2013. She then moved to South Korea and acquired her position as Associate Professor of Chemistry at the Ulsan Institute of Science and Technology until 2018 and transferred to KAIST as an Associate Professor of Chemistry until 2020, where she has taken position as Endowed Chair Professor until the present.

Books Mi Hee Lim participated in the "Fluorescence-Based Nitric Oxide Detection" Chapter of the book Advanced Concepts in Fluorescence Spectroscopy.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mi Hee Lim

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mi Hee Lim claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Mi Hee Lim before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Mi Hee Lim ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Mi Hee Lim

In research: Mi Hee Lim appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Mi Hee Lim in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Mi Hee Lim is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1975 births, Alzheimer's disease researchers, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mi Hee Lim outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
