Ke-Xun Sun

Dr. Ke-Xun Sun is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He specializes in radiation-hardened electronics, photonics, and high-energy density physics diagnostics. His research encompasses semiconductor device reliability under radiation, UV LED technologies, and space instrumentation. With affiliations at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, his work bridges fundamental science and applied engineering.

Research interests focus on:

• Radiation effects in GaN and SiC devices
• Ultrafast laser spectroscopy for material characterization
• HEDP (High Energy Density Physics) diagnostic systems
• Solar-driven energy conversion technologies

Publications demonstrate consistent themes in radiation detection materials, semiconductor performance under extreme conditions, and optoelectronic innovations. Recent articles emphasize gallium-based scintillators and neutron detection methodologies.

Laboratory leadership includes the Center of Excellence for Security Science and Engineering at UNLV.
