Research path
From devices to deployment systems
Lim earned his BS and PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from Seoul National University and conducted research at KIST from 2010 to 2017. His early work focused on resistive-switching devices and hardware building blocks for spiking neural networks.
Since founding Palusomni in 2017, he has led the development of an education platform and its supporting software systems. His technical work progressed from web development and software-based automation to AI-assisted automation and orchestration patterns that preceded today’s widely used agent workflows. Working with these systems made memory, compute, and edge-device constraints an increasingly central engineering question.
Since 2023, he has directed Palusomni’s Next-Generation Intelligence R&D Center, where this hardware-aware AI direction is pursued more intensively. His 2026 joint appointment at Kyungpook National University extends that trajectory into academic research on quantized LLM deployment and statistically auditable model evaluation.
