Prof. De'an Sun received his PhD in the field of geotechnical engineering from Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan in 1994 and is currently a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Shanghai University. His primary research interests include unsaturated soil mechanics and constitutive modeling of soils. He has been listed as one of Elsevier's Most Cited Chinese Researchers for several consecutive years (2020 to present). In 2023, he was selected as the keynote speaker for the 26th Huang Wenxi Lecture. He was awarded the Second Prize of the 2023 National Natural Science Award (ranked second), and has received 5 first-class or second-class prizes of natural science from the Ministry of Education or the Shanghai Municipal Government as the first or one of the top three contributors.
