Brief Biography
Dr. Sun obtained his B.S. degree in
physical chemistry from
Research Expertise and Interests
Professor Sun's research expertise and interests include the design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and modeling of novel supramolecular nano structured polymeric solid state materials and thin films devices for electronic, photonic, optoelectronic, and solar energy conversion applications. His research group is currently investigating and developing novel polymeric materials with unique supra-molecular nano structures and functional groups, for instance, unique donor-bridge-acceptor type block copolymer and its bicontinuous ordered nano structures (BONS) for photo detector and solar cell device applications.
