Prof. Sun has been working in the areas of high temperature material behavior and structural integrity for > 25 years. His research covers creep, thermal-mechanical fatigue and cyclic plasticity, miniaturized test methods etc. Research into fretting wear and damage, high temperature behavior of coatings, welding process modelling, fracture of nuclear graphite, has also been carried out. His most recent work includes mechanisms and optimization design of lattice materials, and mechanics and bio-mimicking of marine mussel plaques. Prof. Wei Sun has supervised 40 PhD students, 15 post-doc fellows and 20 external visiting researchers, and is an author of 250 journal articles, 160 conference contributions and one book. Prof. Wei Sun was awarded Doctor of Science (DSc) in 2012 by the University of Nottingham. He became Charted Engineer (CEng) in 1998, Fellow of The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (FIMechE) in 2002, and Fellow of The Institute of Materials (FIMMM) in 2009. He is a member of UK High Temperature Material Committee (HTMC) and member of the European Impression Creep Test Standard Work Group.
