About me

I am a Ph.D. student in Mathematics at the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Xi’an Jiaotong University, China, under the supervision of Prof. Minghua Lin and Prof. Zongben Xu. Prof. Zongben Xu was an invited speaker at the 2010 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM). I am also a joint Ph.D. student at the Department of Analysis, Bolyai Institute, University of Szeged, Hungary, under the supervision of Prof. Lajos Molnár.

My research interests lie in functional analysis, operator theory, and geometry of polynomials. More specifically, I study transformations on operator algebras, function algebras, and quantum structures, with a focus on preserver problems, local and nonlinear transformations, matrix inequalities and value distribution problems of polynomials.
