He studied projective geometry under Ernest Preston Lane at the University of Chicago.[1] Later Sun became a professor in Tsinghua University, Beijing.
Sun used Ernest Julius Wilczynski's expression of a ruled surface given via two linear homogeneous differential equations in a 1927 publication.[2]
