Xiangcheng Sun

Dr. Xiangcheng Sun is currently senior visiting professor at Center for Chemical Physics (CCP), The University of Western Ontario, London, Canada. He was the founding director of nanoscience center; northwest institute for nonferrous metal research (C-NIN), XiAn of China. From March 2005, he has also served as one of vice Editors-in-Chief in Chinese Journal of Nanoscience & Nanotechnology. Recently he has invited to become senior guest professor at three Chinese universities: HuBei University; WeiFang University; GuiLin University of Technology. He received a B.Sc. from JiLin Normal University, China, in 1994 and a M.Sc. from Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Science in 1997, and a Ph.D. from University of the State of Mexico, Mexico in 2000. He was a senior Research Scientist at Mexican Institute of Petroleo in 2001. He was a Postdoctoral Research Associate on Center for Materials for Information Technology (MINT) of University of Alabama from 2002 until 2004. He was also a Research Associate at The State University of New Jersey and University of Michigan from 2004 until 2005.

Career Highlights

Dr. Sun has more than 12 years experience in synthesis and characterization of nanoscale materials. His remarkable contribution to nanoscale magnetic recording materials is well recognized internationally. He had especially contributed on controlled synthesis, self-assembly, advanced characterization and biological application on unique magnetic nanoparticles, nanolayers, nanoarrays, superlattices and the nanofabrication of magnetic ultra high-density recording devices by focused ion-beam technique as well. Moreover, Dr. Sun had also performed the synthesis and characterization on organic-inorganic hybrid magnetic semiconductor nanostructures with doping magnetic ions using a synthetic assembling strategy. From 2004 to 2005, he had ever involved in the emerging nanobiothechnology and mainly on the attempt of magnetic biosensor incorporating with magnetic nanoparticles assembly with biological and medical significances. From the beginning of 2006, he has participated on the comprehensive microstructure investigations of spintronics-based device fabricated from nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ). Recently after joining Center for Chemical Physics, University of Western Ontario, he is mainly involved in a variety of advanced electron microscopy characterizations (HREM, HADDF and EELS etc) characterization on one or two-dimension nanoscale materials (i.e. nanotubes, nanowires, nanobelts etc), which will be potentially applied to industrial cell fuel energy.
Dr. Sun has published over 50 peer-reviewed journal papers, scientific books, and conference proceedings and over 80 presentations in international (posters and talks) conferences including several invited talks. Dr has also served as conference chair, conference organizer, program committee member and advisory committee member for more than 10 conferences on the emerging field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.
