Dr. Sun is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University, working under the mentorship of Dr. Emma Lundberg. He earned his Ph.D. in Computational Biology at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Dr. Robert F. Murphy.

His research interests span computational biology, biostatistics, and statistical learning. Current work focuses on developing image-derived generative models of biological systems across multiple scales — from cellular to tissue levels — designed to characterize organizational variation across regions and individuals. He also maintains an active interest in the theoretical foundations of modern machine learning.
