Dr Wanxin SUN holds a PhD degree in Physics, M.Eng. and B.Eng. degrees in precision metrology and instrumentation. During his research career as PhD candidate and post-doctoral fellow, he worked on near-field optics and near-field spectroscopy for Nanomaterial and Nanodevice characterization in National University of Singapore. After that, he migrated to Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, where he devoted himself into imaging based bioinformatics, including developing non-linear optical microscopy and scanning probe microscopy for tissue dynamics study. He has developed several microscopic techniques, published more than 40 papers in international journals, and has been an inventor of several US patents. He was also invited to present on international conferences more than 30 times.

After he joined Bruker Nano Surface division, he leads a team of application scientists working on quantitative physical properties characterization at nanometer scale.
