JUSTINE CLARISSE LIM is a recent graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Computational and Systems Biology with Highest Honors, along with minors in Environmental Systems and Society and Digital Humanities.

Drawing on this interdisciplinary background, she applies systems thinking to make cities more sustainable, focusing on the complex social, economic, political, and ecological dynamics that shape them. As she builds a research-driven academic career in urban planning, she aims to develop more equitable, resilient, and greener approaches to city design, for the benefit of both people and the planet.

RESEARCH INTERESTS

COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE FOR URBAN SYSTEMS

Urban environments are intricate, dynamic systems that require sophisticated quantitative tools to understand and improve.

I use scientific methods and theory to strengthen these environments, applying modeling, mapping, and computational strategies to inform sustainable planning in dense, rapidly evolving urban landscapes.

URBAN & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

As global populations increasingly concentrate in cities, systems-aware urban planning is essential for addressing the causes and impacts of climate change.

I study the policies and structural forces that shape sustainability efforts to understand the contradictions of development and ensure that progress is grounded in long-term impact.

DESIGN IN SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION

In our datafied world, impactful communication is necessary for turning scientific insights into meaningful action.

I apply design intuition to create clear, compelling visuals that transform complex data into accessible insights, bridging technical research and public understanding through thoughtful, memorable, and effective communication.
