Electron and Phonon Spectrometrics

Chang Q Sun, received his B.Sc. from Wuhan University of Science and Technology in 1982. He was awarded an M.Sc. from Tianjin University in 1987, and was a member of the faculty there until 1992. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics at Murdoch University in 1997, before joining Nanyang Technological University. Dr. Sun’s research has focuses on extraordinary coordination bonding and nonbonding electronics, and he has pioneered theories of bond relaxation and hydrogen bond (O: H−O) oscillator pair cooperativity. He holds multiple patents related to coordination-resolved electrons and multi-field phonon spectrometrics.  His contribution has been documented in Electron and Phonon Spectrometrics, Springer 2019; Solvation Dynamics: A Notion of Charge Injection, Springer 2019; The Attribute of Water: Single Notion, Multiple Myths, Springer 2016; and Relaxation of the Chemical Bond, Springer 2014; as well as their Chinese versions. He has published over 25 papers in journals suchas Chemical Reviews and Progress in Materials Science. He received the inaugural Nanyang Award in 2005, and the 25th Khwarizmi International Award in 2012. He is currently on the advisory boards of numerous journals.
