Jason Y C LimDr Jason Y. C. Lim obtained his PhD in Inorganic Chemistry from the University of Oxford, U.K. Thereafter, he obtained a postdoctoral position at the same institute under the supervision of Professor Charlotte K. Williams, working on metal-free organcatalysis for the synthesis of polylactic acid, a leading biopolymer with vast commercial applications in today's world. His current research interests at IMRE, Singapore, include development of novel catalysts to replace toxic heavy-metal catalysts used for polymer synthesis, chemical valorisation and upcycling of waste plastics, development of new sustainable polymers for biomedical applications, as well as ion sensors for agritech nutrient monitoring to reduce over-application of fertilisers. At the time of writing, he has authored/ co-authored 25 peer-reviewed papers in top chemistry and materials science journals. Read More Read Less
