Sun was born in Zibo, Shandong Province in 1964. After doctoral studies at Institute of Physics, CAS, he went to National University of Singapore and Cavendish Laboratory, Univerisyt of Cambridge as postdoctors. In 2004, he joined National Centre for Nanoscience and Technology, China. His work has been recognized by a number of awards,  including  the Top Prize for Graduate Students (2000), the First Grade Prize of CAS(2003) and the Second Grade Prize of National Natural Science of China(2004). He has published about 100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and is the principal inventor on 6 patents.

The Sun group is focused mainly on three major areas:

？ Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Carbon Nanomaterials. This group is committed to the discovery, design and development of carbon  nanomaterials and nanostructures with an emphasis on their unusually properties, such as ferromagntism in SP² carbon.

？ Nanogenerators and self-powered systems: to study the energy conversion in nanoscale systems, such as the energy of nanofluids inside carbon nanotubes into electricity.

？ Nanoelectronics, novel nonvalitle memory: to develop novel memory devices based on the edge/end state of graphene or nanotubes.
