Professional biography
Dr Sungwoo Lim is a Research Fellow in Space Sciences in the Space Instrumentation Group at The Open University. Initially, he joined the Open University as a lecturer (Research Investment Fellow) in the School of Engineering and Innovation, Faculty of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in March 2013, then he moved to the School of Physical Sciences. Prior to the current position, he was an architectural designer in South Korea and worked at Brunel University, the University of Strathclyde and Loughborough University as a post-doctoral researcher for ten years. He completed a doctorate in artificial intelligence in design at the University of Strathclyde in 2002 and received BEng and MSc degrees in architectural engineering and design at Kon-Kuk University in South Korea.
He is is a senior member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), a Chair of the Construction Subcommittee of the Space Architecture Technical Committee (SATC) in AIAA, and a UK node member of the Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI) at NASA AMES. He is an EPSRC peer reviewer, and a reviewer for the following journals: Additive Manufacturing, Information Technology in Construction, Automation in Construction, Advances in Space Research, and Computer-Aided Design. Dr Lim is also a Vice President of the Korean Scientists and Engineers Association in the UK (KSEAUK), a programme committee member of European-Korean Conference (EKC), and a member of the Korean-Technology Advisory Group (K-TAG) in Europe, where he regularly exchanges research ideas, and continues to seek potential collaborations with academics and industry experts from the fields of Aerospace, Materials, Mechatronics, Electronics and Design Innovation in Korea. This broad networking spectrum enables him to understand the relationships between the different disciplines, and to identify new opportunities in the wider field.
Research interests
Dr Lim's research experiences are principally multidisciplinary researches in the digital innovation and built environment field including Space Architecture, Additive Manufacturing (AM) in Construction, Shape Grammars, Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Design, Generative Design, Online sketch recognition, Computer-aided Architectural Design (CAAD), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Design Management (DM). Through his experience, he has gained a sound knowledge of architecture, construction, engineering design, design management, computer science and manufacturing. This experience enables him to understand the relationships between the different disciplines, and to identify new opportunities in the broader field, and act as an intermediary between different disciplines.
His current research focuses on Space Architecture with ISRU (In-Situ Resource Utilisation) derived Class III structures and cultural styles in design with a generative design. Previously, he was involved in a number of research projects, and secured research grants as below:
