Biography:
Dr. Sun received his B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from South China University of Technology and Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from the University of Alabama. He then worked as an Assistant Research Engineer at Texas A&M University. Dr. Sun was a Senior Research Engineer at TOTAL Petrochemicals in 2006-2009, and an Assistant Professor at Texas State University in 2009-2013. He joined University of Connecticut in Fall 2013.
The research group of Dr. Sun are interested in creating new materials for various applications and the research covers a wide range of materials, including polymeric materials, ceramics and glasses, and composites. One of the main goals is to design materials with unique structure (down to nano- and molecular-scale) for specific applications, such as packaging, energy, catalysis, etc. In most cases, the structural design and control are the keys to the high performance of these materials.
Dr Sun received many honors and awards for his achievements, including the Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), the Fellow of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE), Presidential Award for Leadership Excellence and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) P3 Award, etc.
