Welcome to Sun Research Group! We are an interdisciplinary research group in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Kentucky. We specialize in the modeling, computation and simulation of materials across multiple length- and time-scales. Our missions include advancing fundamental understanding of materials under different operating environments and making contributions to material design and discovery for diverse applications. The impact of our work lies in sustainable energy, batteries,  aerospace/ocean/civil structures, protection materials/structures, among others.
