Brief Biography:

Dr Samsung Lim joined the academic staff of the School of Surveying & Spatial Information Systems, the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia, in July 2004. His research interests are in Geographic Information Science, Geodetic GPS Network Analysis and Wireless Internet-Based DGPS. He has been appointed a co-principal investigator of the algorithms and software division of Satellite Navigation and Positioning Laboratory (SNAP). Dr Lim was an Associate Professor at the Department of Geomatics Engineering at Inha University, South Korea, where he had been lecturing on GPS theory and practical applications, GIS programming and project management, Satellite Geodesy, Satellite Dynamics, Numerical Analysis and Engineering Mathematics since March 1997. He was appointed Vice Director of the Computation & Information Center at Inha University from 2002 until 2004.

Dr Lim obtained a Doctor of Philosophy in Aerospace Engineering & Engineering Mechanics from the University of Texas at Austin, USA, in 1995. He had worked for three and a half years at the Center for Space Research, the University of Texas at Austin, primarily on the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS). GLAS, part of the Earth Observing System mission, was to make ice sheet elevation measurements over Antarctica and Greenland.

Dr Lim graduated in Mathematics from Seoul National University, South Korea, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in 1988, and a Master of Arts in 1990 in Dynamical Systems. He was a Ph.D. candidate in Mathematics, the University of Texas at Austin from 1990 until 1992.
