Lim's research focuses on both fundamental and applied studies, with an emphasis on academic excellence and real-world impact. We welcome students and collaborator who share an interest in our research. Below you can find information about our research group, as well as our mission and vision.
*** Recruitment Announcement***
The Lim's Research Group in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Gyeongkuk National University is seeking motivated and dedicated undergraduated students, graduate students, and research fellows to join our research team. Applicants with a background in zeolite chemistry are encouraged to submit their appliacations via the e-mail address, wtlim@gknu.ac.kr, by February 15, 2026.

About NMSRL
This is webpage for Lim's group, Nano Material Structure Research Laboratory of Andong National University. Our research goals are exploring nanoporous materials such as Zeolites and MOFs for variety of applications. Our main topics for research are synthesis and modifications of the large single crystals of Zeolites and MOFs and then characterization of those materials using single-crystal synchrotron/lab-source X-ray diffraction techniques (crystallographic methods) for the development of VOC adsorbents, semiconductors, slow-releasing pheromone dispenser, catalysts, and gas separator, selective adsorbents of the radioactive materials from contaminated sea water etc.
Since 2003
