Bio
Bryan Lim is an R&D Associate with the Materials for Advanced Manufacturing Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). He is also a University of Tennessee–Oak Ridge Innovation Institute (UT-ORII) Fellow, working within the institute’s Fusion Technology and Materials for Extreme Environments Convergent Research Initiative.
Bryan’s research interests lie in the development and design of structural alloys for extreme environments, with his current work focusing on materials for fusion energy applications. He integrates physical metallurgy, advanced manufacturing approaches, and computational thermodynamics using CALPHAD-based methods to accelerate alloy discovery and optimization. His expertise centers on linking insights from advanced characterization techniques, including scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT), to uncover phenomena that emerge at the nano- to atomic scale and establish process–structure–property relationships across multiple length scales.
