Mr. Sun Jun-ren (November 15, 1915 – June 19, 2001) born in Songjiang, Jiangsu Province, and a renowned expert in electronic engineering in China. He was an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
He graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1938. That same year, he went to Yan'an, where he helped establish a communications factory. Overcoming numerous difficulties, he developed and produced military communication equipment, ensuring communication support for the victory in the war.
In 1952, he helped establish the Communication Engineering Academy of the People's Liberation Army, founding the first radar engineering department in the country. He formulated training plans and teaching syllabi for communications and radar specialties, personally teaching and participating in various educational practices, thus cultivating a large number of academic leaders. When the signal troops were formed, he established a research system for equipment that included communications, radar, navigation, and electronic countermeasures, laying a solid foundation for future work.
In 1961, he was responsible for organizing the Tenth Research Institute and served as its president, establishing a complete system for the development of military electronic information science research. During his tenure as Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Fourth Machinery Industry, he participated in major decision-making and proposed the establishment of new academies and a graduate training system.
He contributed significantly to the founding of the Chinese Institute of Electronics (CIE), promoting domestic and international academic exchanges and conducting research on economic strategies for electronic information technology. He served as the first and second vice president and secretary-general, and the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth president of the Chinese Institute of Electronics (CIE). Additionally, the CIE Hong Kong (Hong Kong Institute of Electronics) was established under his guidance.
