Biography
Lim Soo Yong (Grace) received the BEng(Hons) degree in electronics majoring in telecommunications from Multimedia University, Malaysia, in 2003 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA, in 2010.
She is currently an assistant professor with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus. Prior to joining Nottingham in January 2014, she was with the Centre for Applied Electromagnetic, Multimedia University from 2004 to 2006 and with Sunway University from 2011 to 2013. Since January 2013, she has been appointed as an adjunct faculty with the Hawaii Center for Advanced Communications (HCAC), College of Engineering, University of Hawaii at Manoa. Her current research interest includes radio propagation modeling, channel measurements, and ray tracing.
Ir. Dr. Grace Lim is a fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA, UK), a senior member of the IEEE, and a registered professional engineer both with the Boards of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) and with the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM). She has served the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society as a member of the Education Committee since 2011 and is currently an associate editor of the Computer Applications in Engineering Education, published by John Wiley and Sons. In 2012, she won the award for Achievement in Research for Early Career Researchers, Sunway University, and a bronze medal at the Malaysia Technology Expo, awarded by the Malaysian Association of Research Scientists.

Research Summary
Research expertise: antennas and propagation, fields and waves, electromagnetics, ray tracing, channel measurement, propagation prediction, and propagation modeling.
My research interests for the past decade have revolved around radio propagation measurement and modeling in wireless communication environments. Specifically, I have adopted the fundamental, physics-based, and empirical approach to modeling random electromagnetic waves in special and not-well-explored wireless propagation environments such as indoor stairwells, the outskirt of periodic building façade, open-trench drains, and more recently, caves in Malaysia. All these findings are expected to collectively contribute towards accurate planning and implementation of wireless communication systems.
