Kai Sun

Dr. Sun obtained his bachelor’s degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and in 2013 received PhD in Mechanical Engineering and PhD minor in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. His primary research at Stanford focused on building ultra-fast and high-sensitivity molecular detection systems with lasers and novel detection technologies. These detection systems operate in extremes conditions for the research of reaction kinetics. Several of Dr. Sun’s papers were selected to IOP Select (Institute of Physics in the UK), Spotlight of OSA (Optical Society of America), and “100 Years of Combustion Kinetics at Argonne”. He also won the Outstanding Paper Award of the journal Measurement Science and Technology in 2013. Before co-founding Hesai, Dr. Sun worked as an University Academic Staff — Research Associate at Stanford.
