Mark Lim

I was born in Redwood City, California, USA and spent most of my childhood near Vancouver, BC, Canada. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of British Columbia (UBC), earning a Bachelor of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering in 2020. During my studies at UBC, I undertook a one-year internship at Ballard Power Systems, a major manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cell products and systems, where I worked in the Stack Test Engineering team. This experience exposed me to the commercialization of clean/renewable energy technologies and grew my interest in working in this sector. In my senior year, I contributed to a capstone project designing a dual-axis solar tracking system and completed a small research project about microneedle injections. After graduating from UBC, I decided to pursue a Master’s degree at the University of Waterloo, where I can continue working towards a career in fuel cell technology and/or renewable energy systems.
