Biography
Hie Lim Kim specializes in population genomics which study genetic variations within or between populations to understand their demographic history. She received her Ph.D. training in population genetics from the Graduate University for Advanced Studies in Japan and continued her postdoctoral research at Pennsylvania State University starting 2009. Later, She served as a Senior Research Fellow at the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) at Nanyang Technological University from 2014. In 2016, Hie Lim Kim was appointed as an Assistant Professor at the Asian School of the Environment and SCELSE at Nanyang Technological University. Currently, she is leading the GenomeAsia 100K project, a massive research initiative aimed at generating and analyzing population genome datasets from diverse ethnicities in Asia to reveal the genetic diversity and population history of Asian populations. In addition, she is conducting the population genomic study of sea turtles nesting in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
