Hello! My name is Justine Lim, an undergraduate at the University of California, Los Angeles, majoring in Computational and Systems Biology with minors in Environmental Systems and Society and Digital Humanities.
I’m drawn to understanding how complex systems work and how we can make them more sustainable. After graduating this spring, I hope to continue this trajectory in graduate school by deepening my computational skills and contributing to sustainable urban research.

Urban environments are intricate, dynamic systems that require sophisticated quantitative tools to understand and improve.
My research interests stem from a deep love of learning these methods, from coding to GIS to simulation theory. I am eager to explore and apply computational technologies that help us analyze environmental challenges with precision and clarity.
As global populations continue to concentrate in cities, urban planning becomes increasingly important in addressing the impacts of climate change.
I am committed to using scientific methods in strengthening these built environments, using modeling, analysis, and data-driven strategies to inform sustainable planning in dense, rapidly evolving urban landscapes.
In a data-rich world, impactful communication is essential for turning scientific insights into meaningful action.
My interests lie in applying design intuition to create clear, compelling visuals that make complex data accessible to a broader audience, bridging technical research and public understanding through thoughtful, effective visual communication.
