Sun Jun (October 3, 1926 - March 1, 2024), male, originally from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu. He is an expert in tunnel and underground construction engineering in China. He has been engaged in the teaching and scientific research of geomechanics, tunneling and underground engineering for a long time, and developed and established a new branch of the discipline - Engineering Mechanics of Underground Structures (1962). He has considerable attainments in the rheological mechanics of geomaterials, viscoelastic plasticity theory of underground structures, urban environmental geotechnical and the application of soft science theories and methods in geomechanics and engineering. Since the early 1980s, it has undertaken and completed nearly 20 national key scientific and technological research projects, major natural science projects, key projects, and general fund projects, as well as more than 40 engineering research projects for major national engineering construction projects. The results have been applied to actual production and have achieved huge technical and economic benefits. He has written more than 200 academic papers and 8 monographs. He has won 15 awards at the national, provincial and ministerial levels. He is one of the first batch of doctoral supervisors in my country and the first batch of academic leaders of key disciplines in the country. Since 1960, he has presided over the establishment of the first "Tunnel and Underground Construction Engineering" major at home and abroad at Tongji University.
