Professor Changpu Sun, a theoretical physicist, currently is dean of graduate school of Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP), and chair professor at Beijing Computational Science Research Center (CSRC) . He obtained his PhD in 1992 at the Chern Institute of Mathematics, and then became a professor of physics in Northeast Normal University (1992-2011) and Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). In an adjunct position he even was a Chair Professor of Theoretical Physics of Nankai University from 2003 to 2008.
He was selected as an Academician of CAS in 2009, and a Fellow of TWAS (the World Academy of Sciences) in 2011. He achieved many prizes including the National Award for Natural Sciences in China, the First Order Prize for Excellence Young Scientist in Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Prize of Science and Technology for Yang Scientists and Citation Classic Award by SCI et al. He is also honored by the National Model Employee of China.
He has published more than 300 articles on peer refereed journals up to date. His article on q-deformed bosons is one of the pioneering articles in mathematical physics, which was enlisted on "Most Cited Journal Article on Mathematical Physics" by the Stanford University Library in 2001. Currently, he is primarily engaged in fundamental research on the reliability of complex systems, addressing critical national needs.
