Professor Sun serves on several Technical Committees of IEEE Circuits & Systems Society and IEEE Communications Society. He has been/is Book Series Editor of an IEE book series, Editor of 8 IEEE and international journals and sole or lead Guest Editor of 12 IEEE, IEE/IET and other journal special issues or topics. He has been on the technical/scientific programme committee of numerous IEEE and international conferences in various roles such as Track Chair, Organiser of Special Sessions, TPC Member and Session Chair. He is a referee for many book publishers, IEEE and international journals and conferences. He has also been an evaluator or panel member of research grant proposals for ERC (Synergy Grant), EPSRC, Royal Society, Austrian, Finnish, Dutch, Singapore and Canadian research councils, and technology patents for USA and UK organisations. He has been evaluator of Canada Research Chairs and professorships for universities in USA, Canada, Ireland and the UK, including Minnesota, McGill, Toronto, and Dublin. He has been an external PhD examiner for many universities worldwide including Imperial College, UCL, Southampton, Queen Mary, McGill, Melbourne, La Trobe, and Nanyang Tech. He has also been/is an external examiner of several UK universities including the University of Oxford and Queen Mary University of London for their undergraduate programmes. Professor Sun has been awarded many national and international awards, prizes and honours. 

Professor Sun has been among the World's Top 2% Scientists named by Stanford University in both single year and career lists every year since 2019. His Scopus Profile link can be found just under his photo in the above and his Google Scholar Profile link is given below.
